Sewage Cleanup & Category 3 Water Restoration
Louisville & Southern Indiana
Sewer backup? Call before entering the affected area.
Tell us the property location, where the backup appeared and whether it is still active. Do not enter an unsafe area to gather photos or measurements.
Ask about availability for your address and the next assessment step. An online request does not guarantee dispatch. Follow emergency-authority instructions first.
- Start with the address. Describe the source, affected areas, and whether damage is still active.
- Discuss the assessment. Ask about availability, access, initial charges, and the next step.
- Understand the scope. Review the proposed work and authorization before services begin.
What should I ask about cost and repairs?
Ask what the initial assessment involves, whether any charges apply, what work needs authorization, and how cleanup and later repairs will be scoped. The affected materials, contamination and access all influence the work required.
