Sewage Backup Damage in Omaha

3/27/2015 (Permalink)

This sewage backup resulted from a 4" rainstorm in Omaha.

Spring has arrived!  But springtime often brings heavy rains, which can trigger sewer backups.  These usually come in through a sump well, washtub and/or toilet in a basement. During storms, the power gets knocked out, disabling the sump pump from protecting your basement.

The damage can be costly, as the contaminated water or sewage usually destroys everything it comes into contact with. For the thousands of dollars in damage, it would be well worth purchasing the additional insurance coverage.  Typical cost for such a policy addition is $25 to $50 annually.  Costs for an average sewage loss range from $5,000 to $10,000 or more.

We hope you avoid sewer backups this spring, but should the need arise, contact SERVPRO of Sarpy County for help.
