Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Pompano Beach?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Pompano Beach Building Inspections division.
Who pays for a condo leak in Pompano Beach?
It depends on the source and the association's documents. Florida law splits responsibility between owners and associations, so notify both quickly.
Can I clean up a small sewage backup myself?
A small backup on a hard, non-porous floor sometimes can be with gloves, boots and disinfectant. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or other porous materials needs professional cleanup.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backups?
Usually only with a sewer or drain backup endorsement. Flooding from outside needs a flood policy.
