Sudden overflows are generally covered by homeowner's insurance.
A toilet overflow in Old Town is more than an inconvenience, it's a biohazard. When sewage or drain water backs up, it saturates flooring, baseboards, drywall, and subflooring, and the contamination spreads to adjacent rooms through foundation cracks and wall cavities. Old Town's early-1900s homes with original cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines that corrode from inside are especially vulnerable to drain backups during heavy rain. Toilet overflows and drain backups happen frequently in Old Town because of flat terrain, high water table, proximity to downtown drainage combined with original cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines that corrode from inside. During heavy Gulf Coast rainfall, municipal storm drains back up into residential drain lines, pushing sewage and gray water backward into bathrooms. Old Town's older piping and slab-on-grade or pier-and-beam construction make backups likely during wet season.
