How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Schiller Park

Sewage carries bacteria and viruses that can make people sick. Skin contact, splashes and a drain that sprays as it flows are all ways it spreads.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Plastic sheeting and sealed paths protect the dry rooms. Foot traffic through clean areas stays to a minimum.

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

   Baseboards, particleboard cabinets and padded furniture soaked in sewage usually cannot be saved. The crew lists each item for the claim before bagging it.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   A final walkthrough checks the cleaned surfaces and the readings. The crew hands over its photos, lists and logs for the insurance claim.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

A plumber's report that names the cause, such as roots, grease or a collapsed pipe, helps explain the loss. Keep it with the crew's records, because an insurer reads the two together.

• Write down who you spoke to and when
• Keep the crew's daily moisture logs in the claim folder
• Tell your landlord or association in writing

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