(504) 799-0400<\/a>. Tell us it is a backup. We handle indoor sewage cleanup: extract, dry, disinfect, document. A plumber still owns your lateral. Jefferson Parish still owns the main. We do not replace laterals or unclog Parish pumps.<\/p>\nWhat sewage backup looks like here<\/h2>\n
Most of these houses are slab. The low points are the downstairs bath, the hall cleanout, and a floor drain. After heavy rain in Old Metairie, Fat City, or the streets off Veterans, the sanitary line cannot take what the block is putting into it. The next opening is often inside the house.<\/p>\n
Jefferson Parish sewer is not the Sewerage & Water Board. If the whole block is surcharging, that is the Parish. If one toilet gurgles and nothing is on the floor yet, that is a plumber. If sewage is already on the slab, the pad, or the drywall, that is restoration \u2014 and it is a clock. Humidity here turns a wet hallway into a mold job in 24\u201348 hours.<\/p>\n
What to do before a crew arrives<\/h2>\n
Stay out of standing water if it is at outlets or the panel. Do not flush. Do not run the washer or downstairs showers. Photograph the hallway, the water line on the baseboard, the drain that failed, and the street if it is still flooded, before you move contents. Kids and pets off the wet floor. A towel dam at a doorway is fine. Spreading it toward dry carpet is not.<\/p>\n
Open a claim and ask whether this is a sewage-backup endorsement, a plumbing backup, or a flood policy. Those are different. We document what we see. We do not interpret your policy.<\/p>\n
After the water is out<\/h2>\n
Category 3 often means pad, baseboard, and affected drywall have to come out. Bleach on a wet baseboard is not disinfection. If the HVAC return sat in the hallway, do not run the system to \u201cdry it out.\u201d That is how contamination moves through the ducts.<\/p>\n
When the structure is dry, reconstruction is a separate step \u2014 cabinets, flooring, paint.<\/p>\n
