FAQs

Sewage Backup Cleanup Questions

Is sewage backup covered by insurance?
Standard NC homeowners policies exclude sewage backup unless you have a sewer-backup endorsement (available for $50–$200/yr typically). Many carriers offer this add-on — worth verifying on your policy before a loss.
Can I clean a small sewage backup myself?
No. Category-3 water carries pathogens that survive standard household cleaning. Amateur cleanup spreads contamination further and puts you at health risk. Call a certified crew.
What has to be thrown out after sewage backup?
All porous materials in the contaminated zone: carpet, pad, drywall (24" up minimum), insulation, upholstered furniture, particleboard, paper, cardboard. Non-porous items (tile, sealed hardwood, metal, glass): usually can be sanitized and kept.
How long does sewage cleanup take?
Small backup (bathroom, one room): 2–4 days for cleanup and 3–5 days for structural drying. Larger contamination: 1–3 weeks total including drying and rebuild.
