Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Yardley, PA
Should I call a plumber or a cleanup company first?
If sewage is still coming up, a plumber may need to stop the source. If sewage is already on the floor, a cleanup team can start containing it at once. Many property owners call both, and it does not matter much which is first. Sewer backup companies and plumbers often work one after the other on the same job.
What if sewage backs up through a shower or tub?
Treat it as raw sewage. Keep people out of the bathroom, stop using the fixture and call for cleanup. The liquid can reach under flooring and into walls, so a crew checks beyond the visible puddle.
Do sewage cleanup companies handle commercial properties?
Yes. Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings follows the same biohazard steps, with added attention to keeping part of the building usable and to documentation for managers and insurers.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backup?
Often only with an added endorsement. Many standard policies treat sewer or drain backup separately from sudden water damage. Call your insurer before cleanup begins, take photos and keep receipts, and ask what they need to see.
Is sewage cleanup the same as water damage restoration?
No. Water from a clean source can often be dried in place, but sewage is a biohazard that requires removal of contaminated materials and disinfection. Drying alone does not make a sewage-affected space safe.
How do I know if sewage is leaking under my house?
Common signs include a sewer smell in the yard or crawl space, soft or damp ground near the foundation, gurgling drains and slow drains in several fixtures at once. A plumber can confirm the leak. Once it is found, a cleanup team can take care of the contaminated soil, materials and odor.
