How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Houston

A musty smell after a backup points to hidden moisture. Call early, because that smell usually comes from material that needs to be cut out.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Truck-mounted equipment handles big volumes, and portable extractors reach basements with tight stairs. The crew picks the tool that fits the house.

2. Map where the sewage went

   Thermal imaging picks out cool, wet areas behind drywall. The crew confirms each one with a meter before any cutting starts.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   The crew handles the loading and disposal of the bags. The homeowner does not carry sewage-soaked materials out alone.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Roughly 13% of homes in these ZIP codes were built in 2000 or later, and most of those have plastic drain pipe. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Houston was built in the 1980s. Builders in these years often put carpet over foam pad on basement floors. Both soak up sewage and have to be hauled out.

Heavy summer thunderstorms can send a surge through an aging sewer. The first sign may be a gurgling basement drain. Most homes here are owner-occupied, so the owner usually makes the calls to the plumber, the crew and the insurer. Keeping every report in one folder makes the claim easier.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Sewage removal cannot wait for a claim decision, because the damage grows each day. Ask the insurer what documentation it wants, then let the crew start.

• Ask the insurer how it wants photos sent
• Keep the crew's daily moisture logs in the claim folder
• Keep the crew's list of materials removed

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
