Every drain in the house empties into one main sewer line. When it stops, sewage rises out of the lowest openings, often a basement drain, a shower and a toilet at once. More than one level can be affected.

Plumbers clear drains and fix pipes. They usually do not remove soaked carpet, cut out wet drywall or sanitize a floor. Ask what each trade covers before the work begins.

How Main Sewer Line Backup Cleanup Works in Chester

1. Extract the sewage

   Protective gear goes on before anyone steps in. The technician pumps from the deepest spot first, then works toward the edges so sewage is not tracked into clean rooms.

2. Map where it traveled

   Photos go with the map. Dated pictures of the source, the water line and the damaged belongings give an insurer a clear starting record.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Hauling contaminated materials out takes planning. The crew keeps bags sealed and moves them along a protected path, so nothing drips across clean floors.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   Daily visits bring a moisture meter and a notebook. Readings are compared with the dry goal, and equipment is moved or added when a number stalls.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Mold needs moisture, something to feed on and a little time. A sewage backup supplies all three in one afternoon. Call Sewer Backup Cleanup Team now, and a crew can start taking them away.

• Stop using every toilet, sink, shower and washing machine.
• Call a plumber to check and clear the main line.
• Keep everyone out of rooms with sewage on the floor.
• Do not run a bath or the washer to test whether the pipe is clear.
• Photograph every room that has sewage before anything moves.
