| Hey, that's what they sell insurance for :) This kind of stuff actually happens all the time. Not necessarily raw sewage but contractors damaging homeowners' property and what not is pretty routine. Keeps the insurance folks in business. |

Keeps the insurance folks in business. Just so you know, most standard homeowner's insurance policies do not cover sewage backups. You have to purchase that coverage separately.

This is an example why you should licensed and bonded contractors... if they screw up, you need it fixed and in all likelyhood your homeowner's insurance will not cover it because it was caused by a contractor.

Southfield, MI | Homeowners insurance will cover it even if it was caused by you. They in turn go after the contractors insurance. Well, if they so desire. |

Only thing is this wasn't a sewage backup. It was sewage leaking on the way out, caused by a 3rd party fuckup. It most certainly is covered by most standard homeowner's policies. |
