Recently, we were called out to Odessa, Florida, to investigate a major flood due to sewage backup.
The homeowners were a young couple and this was their first home.
“We literally bought the home, got married, went on a honeymoon and moved in,” Jack, one of the homeowners told us.
“We fell in love with the home mainly because of the kitchen and open concept living area,” Annie, the other homeowner told us.
Unfortunately, for Jack and Annie, the romance of their honeymoon came to a disturbing halt when they came home to a flooded house. Not only was the entire area flooded, but it was also contaminated with sewage that had backed up into their home through a shower drain on the main floor. Jack and Annie dealt with the situation as best as they could: they cleaned up the mess and mopped down the area that wasn’t covered with carpet. For the carpet, they rented a carpet cleaner from the grocery store and did a quick once over. However, they suddenly noticed an odor that wouldn’t go away.
And then sewage backup happened again. Fortunately, this time Jack and Annie called 1-800-DRY-ME-OUT for sewer repair and house flood damage help.

My friend had just been telling me about sewer backflow in Schaumburg where they've had some major problems. I can't even imagine what I would do if that happened to me. I sure hope he can figure it out.
