4.9Sewage Backup: 72/100

Denis' team did a great job to haul away the existing 40 gallon water heater and install a new tankless one. Two PVC pipes went all the way to the side of my house through the crawl space. They cleaned up everything within 6 hours. Excellent!

4.8Reviewed for sewage backup

Seth and Ben went over and above my expectations. Came and found the problem and also checked drainage pipes outside for blockage. Ended up replacing the sump pump based on company's suggested 5 year replacement. Seth and Ben were very polite and shared much intellect about product and service.

Mann completed a job that three other plumbers were unable to finish. I was very impressed with my plumber's skill and that he had the parts in his truck that my job needed.

Common Sewage Backup Scenarios

Stop Using All Water

Every flush and drain use adds to the backup. Stop all water usage in the house immediately until the blockage is cleared.

Avoid Contact

Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Don't wade through it or touch it without protective gear. Keep children and pets away.

Ventilate the Area

Open windows and doors near the affected area. Sewage gases (methane, hydrogen sulfide) are hazardous in enclosed spaces.

Call a Plumber Immediately

Sewage backup is a true emergency. Most emergency plumbers can respond within 30-60 minutes. Do NOT attempt to clear a main sewer line yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes sewage to back up?
Common causes: main sewer line clog (tree roots, grease, debris), collapsed or bellied sewer pipe, city sewer main backup, or heavy rainfall overwhelming combined sewer systems. In Delaware, tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes.
Is sewage backup dangerous?
Yes — raw sewage is a serious health hazard containing bacteria (E. coli, salmonella), viruses, and parasites. Do not touch sewage without protective gear. After cleanup, the area needs professional sanitization to prevent illness and mold.
How much does sewage backup repair cost in Delaware?
Emergency sewer line clearing: $200-$800. If the backup revealed a broken or collapsed sewer line, repair costs $1,500-$10,000+ depending on the method and extent. Professional cleanup and sanitization adds $1,000-$5,000 for significant backups.
Does insurance cover sewage backup in OH?
Standard homeowners insurance in OH typically does NOT cover sewer backup damage. You need a separate sewer backup endorsement ($40-$100/year). If you don't have it, you'll pay for cleanup and repair out of pocket. Check your policy now — before the next incident.
