Utility and service questions
The City of Springtown provides wastewater and sanitation service and bills sewer and trash, including for Walnut Creek Special Utility District water customers inside the city. When a backup affects several drains, the City or a plumber can help find whether the blockage is inside the house or further along.
- Water rising from a floor drain, tub or toilet
- Dark, foul smelling water on a floor
- Wet carpet or drywall that touched the water
How the cleanup works
Crews wear protective gear, pump out the water and cut away carpet, pad and wet drywall that cannot be made safe. Hard surfaces and framing are cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial, then dried with air movers and dehumidifiers until readings are normal.
Contaminated water gets worse the longer it sits, so a call can explain safe next steps.
Discuss the sewage cleanupClaims and rebuilding
Many policies limit sewer backup coverage unless an endorsement was added, so the policy decides what is paid. Photos, a list of removed materials and the final readings are kept together, and rebuilding waits until the structure is dry. See water extraction for the first removal stage.

Sewage Backup Cleanup questions, answered
Still dealing with it?
Contaminated water gets worse the longer it sits, so a call can explain safe next steps.
(888) 527-9134 Discuss the sewage cleanupIs it safe to clean up sewage without help?
Sewage carries bacteria and viruses, so gloves, boots, masks and careful disposal are needed, and large backups, soaked carpet and wet drywall are better left to a trained crew.
Can carpet be saved after a sewage backup?
Usually not, because carpet and pad absorb contaminated water that cannot be fully cleaned, so they are removed and replaced even when the surface looks dry.
What causes sewage to back up into a home?
Common causes include a blocked drain, roots or grease in a pipe, a heavy storm that overloads the system and a failure further along in the sewer, and the cause decides who should fix it.
Does sewage damage lead to mold?
It can, because damp materials and organic matter feed growth, which is why removal, cleaning and drying are done together within the first 24 to 48 hours.
Will insurance cover a sewer backup?
Only some policies do, usually through an added endorsement, so the policy should be checked early, and photos, receipts and the cleanup record support whatever claim is filed.
Sewage in the house needs trained cleanup, not a mop
Describe which drains or fixtures backed up and which rooms are wet, and the crew will explain removal, sanitizing and drying.
