What Causes It

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.

Local Knowledge

Finished Basements

After the Water

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.
