How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Charleston

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

   The crew tests the crawl space or subfloor when sewage may have run beneath the finished floor. Insulation under a floor soaks it up like a sponge.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Hard items such as tile, metal and sealed wood are cleaned and kept when they can be. The crew sorts as it goes.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   Odor control follows the cleaning. A smell that lingers often means a wet spot remains, so the crew looks again instead of masking it.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

The 2,555 homes in the 1 ZIP code around Charleston share sewer mains of many ages, and an older main can fail under a heavy load. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Charleston was built in the 1970s. Roots love the joints in old clay pipe from this era. A tree planted near the sewer pipe decades ago can now be the cause.

Roots grow through the warm months and pipes shift in the cold ones. The two together weaken joints year after year. Owners can ask the plumber to write down the cause of the backup. That report helps explain the loss to the adjuster.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Flood insurance and homeowners insurance cover different events. Sewage that comes up a drain is usually a backup claim and not a flood claim. Ask your insurer which one applies to your loss.

• Ask the adjuster which items it wants to see first
• Save every receipt for hotels, supplies and removal
• Write down who you spoke to and when

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