4Reviewed for sewage backup

Flooded my basement after a shark bite fitting that wasn't tested let go. Refused to clean up because he 'had stuff to do at his house'... Received zero financial help and lost hundreds and hundreds of dollars in flood damaged items.

4.6Reviewed for sewage backup

They messed up my appointment date then I had to wait another week for service. When they arrived they refused to wear masks in my house. They left, saying they'd send someone who could mask, then told me later that it'd be another 2 weeks before they could fit me in.

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 Abingdon, 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 Abingdon?
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 VA?
Standard homeowners insurance in VA 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.
