Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Boca Raton?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Boca Raton Building Permits and Inspections department.
How do I protect my seasonal Boca Raton home?
Shut off the main water, keep the AC running to control humidity, and have someone check the home after storms.
Can I clean up a small sewage backup myself?
A small backup on a hard, non-porous floor sometimes can be with gloves, boots and disinfectant. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or other porous materials needs professional cleanup.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backups?
Usually only with a sewer or drain backup endorsement. Flooding from outside needs a flood policy.
