In North Carolina, the responsibility for cleanup after a sewer flood can vary depending on the circumstances and the specific location of the incident. In general, property owners are typically responsible for the cleanup and repair of their own property, including any damage caused by sewer backups. However, if the sewer backup is determined to be a result of negligence or a fault in the municipal sewer system, there may be situations where the local government or utility company could share some responsibility. It's important to check with local authorities, utility providers, and your insurance company to understand the specific regulations and guidelines that apply to your situation.

The time required to repair a broken water line can vary depending on the extent of the damage, location of the break, and accessibility of the pipes. On average, a straightforward repair can take 2 to 4 hours. More complex issues, such as those involving significant excavation or replacement of large sections of pipe, can take a day or more. It's essential to hire a professional plumber for an accurate assessment and efficient repair, ensuring the issue is resolved promptly and correctly.
