Sewage Backup Cleanup in Franklin Square, NY
Franklin Square is a large central hamlet where 30,000 residents live in a dense grid of postwar homes built on the Hempstead Plains. The flat terrain provides no natural drainage, and heavy rain events regularly overwhelm the storm sewer system. Nassau County's aging municipal sewer infrastructure — much of it installed during the same 1940s-1960s Cape Cods and colonials construction boom that built Franklin Square — is prone to backups when storm events overwhelm combined systems. Sewage backup is Category 3 biohazardous waste and must be handled by HAZWOPER-trained professionals, not DIY cleanup crews.
Why Franklin Square Homeowners Face This Problem
Storm drain backups flood basements throughout the hamlet during heavy rains. Many homes have original galvanized plumbing that corrodes and develops leaks behind finished walls. Most Franklin Square homeowners discover too late that standard homeowner's insurance doesn't cover sewage backup — a separate endorsement rider is required. Our team handles the biohazard cleanup, provides full insurance documentation, and helps you understand your actual coverage before committing to any repair work.
- Raw sewage in basement — biohazard emergency
- Health risk to family from bacteria and pathogens
