A large volume of water, or water from several sources, adds pumping and cleanup time.
Required Drying Time
Drying after cleaning can take several days, and each day of equipment adds cost.
Sanitization Procedures
Disinfecting every affected surface, from floors to lower walls, takes time and specialized products.
Does Insurance Cover Contaminated Water Removal?
Many homeowner policies exclude sewer backups unless you added a backup endorsement, and outside flooding usually needs flood insurance. Check your policies early.
