Don't let sewer water sit in your basement, call for help!

Body:

It is an overwhelming task to try to even figure out what to do if you come home to a basement that smells and has YUCK all over the floor. I get why someone would want to just close the basement door and ignore it. STILL. We recommend sucking in some fresh air from outside and get ready to handle a nasty situation. You can do this… with some help.

CALL A PROFESSIONAL FOR A SEWER BACKUP!

Sewer water is hazardous and we recommend staying away from it. Sewer water, also known as “Black water” may contain feces and bacteria that can affect your health. Once you realize you have a sewer issue, here are some steps you can take to the issue resolved.

• Call a plumber. They can find out the source of the issue and fix it.
• Call the city. Some city sewer lines can get backed up and be the reason for the sewer. They may provide a way to resolve the issue or provide financial help.
• Call a Restoration and Cleanup service. SERVPRO can help clean your sewer “Like it never even happened.” We remove odor, wash floors and content, and SANITIZE.
• Call your Insurance Agent. Your policy may cover the cost!

If you wait too long to resolve the issue, the damage may get worse, it can affect your health, and insurance might not cover the cost due to negligence.

We are here to help!
