How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Tutor Key

A sour smell after a backup is a clue that something is still wet or still contaminated. The odor does not leave until the source materials come out and the area is dry. Air fresheners only cover it up.

1. Extract the sewage

   The crew starts with the water. Submersible pumps and truck-mounted extraction pull sewage off the floor and out of the house, and the hose runs to a safe disposal point.

2. Map where it traveled

   Baseboards, door casings and cabinet toe-kicks are checked first, since sewage wicks upward there. The numbers tell the crew how high the cut needs to go.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Belongings get sorted by what they are made of. Hard, nonporous items can often be sanitized, while soft items that soaked up sewage are discarded after they are photographed.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   Rebuild work waits for the dry readings. Once the structure passes, the homeowner can get drywall, paint and flooring quoted with confidence.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Flood insurance is built for floods. It usually pays for a sewer backup only when flooding caused it, not when a clog or a root did. A homeowner with both policies should ask each insurer about the cause.

• Compare the insurer's written decision with the policy wording
• Keep receipts for hotel stays and emergency supplies
• Ask the city about its claim process when the main may be blocked

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