Panicked Customer Had Sewage in Her Basement
A concerned customer called needing sewage cleanup services for her basement in Douglas Park Chicago.
On top of having to deal with the sewage backup, the family was mourning the loss of their dog and their insurance company had declined their claim. We assured her that we would handle everything safely and do our best to minimize her financial burden.
Emergency Services for Sewage Backup in Basement
Once our team arrived on-site we performed an inspection of the damage and found that the ejector pump had failed, causing sewage backup in the basement and underneath the hardwood floors.
We comforted the woman as we explained the cleanup process, discussed insurance, and assured her that her family was in good hands.
