A sewage backup is not a bad water loss, it is a different job with different rules. Under the restoration standard it is Category 3 — grossly contaminated — and that changes what can be saved, what protective equipment the crew wears, and how the space has to be isolated from the rest of the building. In Melbourne we deal with both sides of it: municipal lines that back up under a heavy rain, and the septic systems that serve most rural parcels out here.
Brevard is a long thin county with the Atlantic on one side and the Indian River Lagoon down the middle, and the damage follows that geography. Out on the barrier island — Satellite Beach, Indialantic, Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach — the usual problem is wind-driven rain finding a way in around window and door assemblies, on buildings where salt air has been working on flashing and fasteners for thirty years. On the mainland, from Palm Bay up through Rockledge, Cocoa and Titusville, it is block houses on slabs where a failed supply line spreads flat across the floor with nowhere to drain. And unlike most of the state, the worst of it is not always a hurricane — a November nor’easter that pushes onshore for three days puts more water through a beachside roof than a fast summer storm ever does.
Crews dispatch 24/7 from our Melbourne base at 715 North Dr, Suite #B and cover all of Melbourne — one local team, no subcontracted call centers. See all services in Melbourne or read more about sewage cleanup & water extraction.
