Sewage Cleanup in Abbotsford, BC
Clearbrook basements take sewage up the floor drain when the street system is surcharged. That is a suite or a rec room full of category 3 water.
Sumas floodwater is not automatically sewage. It is water that crossed the ground. We name which one is in the house so the cleanup matches the water.
Surcharged Clearbrook drains
Pad, lower drywall, and insulation come out. The slab is washed and disinfected. Tenants stay out of the suite until that is done.
Mill Lake bathrooms over basements
A toilet overflow upstairs is a smaller footprint than a floor-drain backup, unless it ran all night. We measure the splash line instead of gutting the whole lower level.
Prairie water that is not a drain
If Sumas water came through a door, we still remove porous finishes, but we do not write it up as a sewer backup unless the drain was the source.

Questions from this area
Sewage Cleanup in Abbotsford: common questions
Is a Clearbrook backup usually insured?
Only if the policy has a sewer-backup endorsement. We document the event. The insurer decides.
The water looks clear. Can it still be sewage?
Yes. A surcharged drain does not always look brown. If it came up the floor drain, we treat it as category 3.
Do Auguston houses have these drains?
Newer homes fail more at a fixture than at an old floor drain. We still contain whatever waste touched.
