“How My Basement Flooded” — The Consequences of Procrastinating
What would you do if your basement flooded with sewage? In this episode, drain technicians share stories from the field. Each of these people they helped had their sewers back up into their homes. Then we discuss ways to avoid the same things happening to your home.
Each story ends with a family who ended up dealing with problems much worse than what they started with. Each story begins in a similar way. A backup in the basement and a choice to wait on a repair. And each story could have been avoided by someone acting sooner.
Nobody wants to repair or replace a sewer mainline. It’s hidden underground, out of sight and out of mind. And the repairs aren’t cheap. Between the expense and the shock, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. That’s often why people wait to take care of important sewer mainline repairs.
The good news is that when a problem comes up, there are often ways to fix it before the gets as bad as these stories. Many companies have excellent financing options for a full repair. Getting that repair done soon keeps you from having major problems at the worst times.
