Common questions
Sewage Backup Cleanup FAQ
Can I clean a sewage backup myself?
Keep people and pets away. A small fixture overflow differs from sewage across porous materials; avoid contact, cross-traffic, and household fans that spread contamination. Call our Cochrane team for help.
Which materials usually need removal?
Contaminated porous materials often have limited cleaning options, but this depends on exposure, material, access, damage, and the written plan. Call our Cochrane team for help.
Can the area remain occupied?
The answer depends on containment, shared air and routes, plumbing use, affected rooms, vulnerable occupants, and the work being performed. Call our Cochrane team for help.
Who repairs the sewer source?
A plumber or sewer provider repairs the source. We plan cleanup around that repair and tell you who handles each part. Call our Cochrane team for help.
Will you work with my insurer?
Calgary Water Restoration works with all insurers and can document cleanup, while coverage and claim decisions remain with the insurer. Call our Cochrane team for help.
