Sewage backup cleanup questions

Do I need a permit for repairs in Stamford?

Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Stamford Building Department.

Do I need flood insurance in Stamford?

Homeowners policies exclude flood. Coastal neighborhoods are in FEMA flood zones, and inland basements flood in heavy rain too.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backup?

Often only with a water or sewer backup endorsement, which most insurers offer as an add-on. Check your declarations page.

Is sewage cleanup dangerous?

Yes. Sewage contains bacteria, viruses and parasites. Professional crews use protective equipment and disinfectants for this reason.
