Cost

What does sewage cleanup cost in University City?

Sewage cleanup in University City typically runs from about $2,500 to $8,000, depending on how much water backed up, how far it spread, and how much material has to be replaced. Category 3 water calls for more intensive decontamination than a clean-water loss, which is reflected in the price. Homeowners insurance commonly covers sewage backups, particularly when a municipal combined-sewer overflow or a main-line backup is the cause, and the loss is typically documented and billed direct to the carrier.
