Decontamination labor and materials make up most of that cost. Insurance typically covers a sudden drain backup and the water damage that comes with it, often bringing the out-of-pocket cost down to the deductible.
Maplewood's tree-lined streets feature charming brick homes and bungalows from the early-to-mid 1900s with basements and stone foundations vulnerable to water damage during heavy rainfall and snowmelt. Mature root systems in this historic Maplewood community can crack old clay pipes, leading to sewer backups and basement flooding. Maplewood's historic brick homes were built on clay pipe systems now over a century old. Tree roots from mature Maplewood trees penetrate these old pipes, and ground settling creates additional cracks. Spring thaw and heavy rains regularly overwhelm these vulnerable systems.
