How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Balmorhea

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

   Low spots under shelves and behind stored boxes get pumped last, because that is where sewage hides. A second pass lifts what the first one missed.

2. Map where the sewage went

   The technician marks the wet line on every wall and notes what each room is made of. That map decides what comes out.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Wet drywall is cut out above the wet line, often well past the visible stain. The studs behind it stay and get cleaned.

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

About 56% of homes here predate 1960 and 11% date from 2000 on, so the crew sees old clay pipe and new plastic pipe in the same area. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Balmorhea was built in the 1950s. Old houses sometimes have a patched run or more than one sewer pipe. A plumber's camera shows which parts are still in service.

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 insurer how it wants photos sent
• Report the loss to the insurer right away
• Read any claim release carefully before signing

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