What to do When Your Septic Backs Up

Back when my septic system exploded into my basement, I found something out. Normal water extraction businesses will not do this kind of job. The company has to be a company that deals in biohazards. I had no idea who to call. Fortunately, my insurance company had a phone number, called it, and scheduled my water clean up. Those guys came out, cleaned up my basement, removed my carpet, dried out the basement, and killed all the yucky germs down there.

Today, I want to tell you about a service, Water Restoration 911, which will take care of sewage backup. They are available 24/7 and I recommend calling immediately. Don’t wait until the next day, like I did. You could have more damage, that way. Fortunately, I didn’t, but you might.

Water Restoration 911 also does mold and fungus remediation, and fire and smoke restoration. One of the great things about their sewage backup service is that they will repair the backup problem if it still exists. I’m not sure they can fix septic problems, but frequently with sewage problems, it is just a matter of a clog between your house and the main line. It would be nice if the restoration people could take care of that, too and save you the work of having to find another service.
