Why Hanover Park Basements Back Up
Usually one of these:
A Clog in Your Line
Roots, grease or wipes.
A Belly or Break
Waste can't flow past it.
Heavy Storms
Sewers under strain push water back.
A Failed Ejector Pump
Basement fixtures overflow.
Sewer Backups in Hanover Park
In the August 2007 storm, Hanover Park basements took water from sewer backups.
Dry Day or Rainy Day?
A backup on a dry day points to your line. One in heavy rain points to the sewer system.
Finished Basements
Common in Hanover Park homes, and expensive to restore.
Protection
A backflow valve or overhead sewer system keeps sewer water out.

Clear, explain, prevent.
1. Clear the Line
Drains working again.
2. Show the Cause

3. Price Any Repair First
Flat rate.
What to Do After a Sewer Backup
Once the line is clear, take photos of the damage before anything is moved, then call your insurance agent to ask whether you have sewer backup coverage. Anything porous that touched sewage, like carpet, padding and cardboard, usually has to go. Hard surfaces can be cleaned and disinfected. A restoration company can dry the walls and floor properly. Keep our camera footage and invoice with your claim, because they show the cause and the repair.
