The plumber's findings help the insurance claim, and so do the crew's photos and logs. Keep both reports in one folder.

How Main Sewer Line Backup Removal Works in Maxton
-
Pump out the standing sewage
The crew suits up in boots, gloves, a respirator and coveralls before anyone steps into the wet area. Submersible pumps and extractors start moving the standing sewage out.
-
Map where the sewage went
Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.
-
Cut out and haul away what soaked
The crew handles the loading and disposal of the bags. The homeowner does not carry sewage-soaked materials out alone.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
The technician returns to take daily moisture readings and moves equipment as walls dry. The job ends when the readings reach the dry goal, not before.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Carpet and pad hold sewage against the subfloor. Pulling them out early gives mold less to grow on and cuts the germs sitting in the house.
- Stop using every toilet, sink, tub and washer until the pipe is cleared
- Leave the yard cleanout alone, since the plumber opens it with the right tools
- Keep children and pets out of every room that has sewage
- Wear rubber boots and gloves if you must cross a wet floor
- Photograph each affected room, the drains and any cleanout that overflowed
