Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup questions

Do I need a permit for repairs in Carson City?

Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the Carson City Building Division.

How do I prevent frozen pipes in Carson City?

Insulate pipes in exterior walls and crawlspaces, keep the heat steady, and drip faucets during deep cold.

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.
