How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Leopold

A musty smell after a backup points to hidden moisture. Call early, because that smell usually comes from material that needs to be cut out.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Hoses carry the sewage to a proper disposal point. It never goes to a storm drain, a yard or a neighbor's property.

2. Map where the sewage went

   The crew tests the crawl space or subfloor when sewage may have run beneath the finished floor. Insulation under a floor soaks it up like a sponge.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Insulation that touched sewage cannot be dried and reused. It goes into heavy bags and out of the house.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

The 290 homes in the 1 ZIP code around Leopold share sewer mains of many ages, and an older main can fail under a heavy load. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Leopold was built in the 1970s. Orangeburg, a sewer pipe made of pressed fiber, went into some homes of this era. It softens over time, and a plumber's camera can spot a squeezed section.

Drying time changes with the season. Humid summer air slows evaporation, and cold air slows it too, so the crew adjusts the equipment. Owners can ask the plumber to write down the cause of the backup. That report helps explain the loss to the adjuster.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

A plumber's report that names the cause, such as roots, grease or a collapsed pipe, helps explain the loss. Keep it with the crew's records, because an insurer reads the two together.

• Keep copies of every claim form you send
• Keep the plumber's written findings
• Ask whether the policy includes water backup coverage

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
