Sewage pipe broken

[wooohooo]

I have a house and found out the sewage line broke which causes the house to be a little stinky. I called some damage restoration companies but most are either fully booked (storm) or charge a $250 fee just to come out.

Now to get to the line there's a tight crawl space you need to get in. It's just dirt underneath there and it's pooling some water.

What do I have to do?

Do you guys know of any good companies that will fix this for a decent price?

Thanks in advance!

Call the City and see if they will come out.

Shouldn't your insurance cover this sort of thing?

Pretty sure sewer line backups are covered (at least mine is)

I have seen this twice with my parents and uncles house, both times Insurance covered it only be cause it was a sewer line backup and not a broken line, had it been a broken line the implication was they wouldnt cover it.

Insurance called me this morning saying they would not cover it. Why? I don't remember, I was still kinda sleeping haha... but they'll send me a letter detailing why. Sucks though... the guy on the phone said it could be something as few as a few hundred dollars to a few thousand.

Oh yeah, this was a not a sewage line backup but the line is broken. It's disconnected in two. Maybe I should get a plumber to patch it up and then stuff some leaves to back it up... haha

With the recent storm, everyone's so busy. Not to mention some of the restoration companies don't have plumbers so I have to get it fixed first.

Is that post consumer, or in consumer poo?
