How to Handle a Sewer Backup in your Cortez Colorado Home

Be safe and do not try and clean up the mess yourself. Sewer water is highly contaminated.

Call a licensed restoration contractor to get on site and start assessing the situation.

Call your insurance company. SERVPRO can talk with the adjuster to help determine the reasons for the backup.

Find a licensed plumber to repair the reason for the backup.

The cleaning of a sewage backup can be very invasive. Any materials that have soaked up water have to be removed as in these two photos. The carpet, pad and some of the drywall had to be removed before the disinfection and drying process could begin. Then the flooring was cleaned and disinfected.

Please call SERVPRO of Archuleta, La Plata, Montezuma and San Juan Counties anytime 24/7/365 at 970-259-6158 to perform water or sewage damage mitigation and restoration.
