Sewage back up damages home in Old Colorado City

1-800-Flooded was dispatched by an insurance company to a home in Old Colorado City that had sustained water damage after the basement toilet backed up sewage water into the home. The basement recreation room, two bedrooms, the hall, and the bathroom were affected. Because the home was built in 1914, 1-800-Flooded had the affected materials tested for lead based paint and for asbestos.
