Sewage Backup in Enfield, CT
This toilet backup in Enfield, CT caused a complete remodeling of the bathroom. The sink, bath, and toilet were all very old and the water soaked through into all the cracks and the walls. The damage spread out under the floor under the tub and sink. The whole bathroom was gutted. Drying fans were brought in. Disinfectant and antimicrobial were applied to all surfaces. The homeowner was consulted on what type of work needed to be completed. A new toilet, tub, and sink were chosen as well as faucets. A new floor was chosen and then the reconstruction team went to work. About a week later the bathroom was finished and the homeowner couldn’t have been happier!
