How Main Sewer Line Backup Removal Works in Eckerty
-
Pump out the standing sewage

Map where the sewage went
A moisture meter shows how far the sewage wicked into walls and subfloors. The reading often reaches past what the eye can see.
-
Cut out and haul away what soaked
Hard items such as tile, metal and sealed wood are cleaned and kept when they can be. The crew sorts as it goes.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A fan pointed at sewage pushes germs through the air and does not make the room safe. Drying comes after the sewage and the soaked materials are out.
- 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
