Why Independence Homes Need Sewage Cleanup

Combined sewer systems here are among the largest in the country and surcharge during heavy rain, sending sewage up floor drains across entire neighborhoods at once.

Independence shares Kansas City's water damage profile: combined sewer surcharge during heavy rain, flash flooding along the Blue River drainage, severe spring storms with hail, and hard freezes that burst pipes in the area's older brick and postwar housing.

• Extraction of sewage and solids with dedicated equipment
