Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Mesa?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Mesa Development Services department.
How do I prevent monsoon roof leaks in Mesa?
Have flat-roof coatings and tile underlayment checked before July, and clear roof drains and scuppers.
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.
