How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Point Pleasant

Mold needs moisture, something to feed on and a little time. A sewage backup supplies all three in one afternoon. Call Sewer Backup Cleanup Team now, and a crew can start taking them away.

1. Extract the sewage

   Protective gear goes on before anyone steps in. The technician pumps from the deepest spot first, then works toward the edges so sewage is not tracked into clean rooms.

2. Map where it traveled

   Sewage rarely stays where it came in. The crew checks the base of every wall near the affected rooms and records the readings for the job file.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Drywall is cut above the water line, usually a little higher to catch wicking. The crew removes the wet section, bags it and leaves clean framing exposed to dry.

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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

With about 100% of Point Pleasant area homes built before 1980, the sewer laterals under many of them have been in the ground for decades. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Point Pleasant was built in the years before 1940. Homes built before 1960 often have clay or cast iron sewer pipe. Clay joints open up over decades, and roots slip in through the gaps. Cast iron rusts from the inside and scales until it narrows.

Power outages during winter storms can stop sewage ejector pumps and sump pumps. A basement bathroom that relies on a pump can back up when the lights go out. In a mostly owner-occupied area, the homeowner usually makes every call: crew, plumber and insurer. Keeping the crew's records and the plumber's report together makes the claim easier.

What Does Sewer Backup Cleanup Cost in Point Pleasant, PA?

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Endorsements for sewer backup usually carry their own dollar limit. That limit may be lower than the bill for a finished basement. Ask whether cleanup, belongings and rebuild all draw from the same amount.

• Keep a notebook with every name, date and claim number
• Update the damaged-item list until the claim closes
• Save the cleanup crew's moisture logs and invoices
