Protect Your Business and Business Interruption Claim In Case of A Sewer Backup

Your business may sustain a sewage backup if the main sewer line in the street backs up.  Business owners can expect to close their doors to prevent the spread of sewage containing harmful bacteria and disease causing pathogens.  

For restaurant owners, sewer backups can lead prolonged  business interruption, profit losses and employee resignations.  You will need to hire a property damage insurance claim attorney to manage your business interruption claim, property damage claim and contents damage claim for damaged equipment destroyed by the backup.  

There are a variety of reasons why your sewer can backup. It’s a perfectly common situation that many commercial property owners face. Some of the most common causes are:

• Grease Buildup

• Soil Settlement

• Root Infiltration

• Collapsed Pipes

• Misaligned Joints

• Improperly Flushed Items

The faster you hire an insurance claims attorney the better off you will be.  

While you are managing your business affairs, the sewage cleanup professionals are getting your business ready to open back up, your insurance attorney is working on maximizing your insurance settlement.  An insurance claims attorney understands what is needed to prove the financial loss from your unexpected business interruption.  Don’t risk your claim being underpaid or unnecessarily delayed.  You can’t afford to stay closed for long.
