Signs That Sewage Backup Water Needs Extraction

How Sewage Backup Flood Cleanup Proceeds

1. Secure the affected space

   The technician checks the source and electrical hazards. The first step is to keep people and pets out of the affected area.

2. Remove pooled water

   The crew pumps and extracts wet surfaces, then moves contents from the sewage backup flow path.

3. Find concealed saturation

   Meters show whether carpet, drywall, stored goods and floor joints hold water. Soaked material may need removal. The crew removes contaminated porous material and sanitizes hard surfaces.

4. Dry and document

   The crew checks exposed framing, dries what can remain and records moisture readings for the claim.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Keep people and pets out of the affected area.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
• Call Flood Cleanup Response Team at (888) 471-9821, 24/7, and describe the sewage backup water.

What to Expect From the Crew

• Water past the surface

  A mop cannot safely clean carpet, drywall, stored goods and floor joints. The crew removes affected porous material and sanitizes hard surfaces.

• Work matched to the water

  Sewage is Category 3 water. Exposure determines which materials stay and which leave.

• Clear records from start to finish

  Photos and readings document sewage backup damage. Coverage depends on the policy, so check with your own insurer.
