How Toilet Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Mountain Home

1. Extract the sewage

   Floor drains and sumps get checked before the pump-out ends. The technician makes sure nothing is still flowing back and passes the note along to the plumber.

2. Map where it traveled

   Baseboards, door casings and cabinet toe-kicks are checked first, since sewage wicks upward there. The numbers tell the crew how high the cut needs to go.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Belongings get sorted by what they are made of. Hard, nonporous items can often be sanitized, while soft items that soaked up sewage are discarded after they are photographed.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   Rebuild work waits for the dry readings. Once the structure passes, the homeowner can get drywall, paint and flooring quoted with confidence.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Sewage carries bacteria and viruses that do not need days to cause trouble. Contact with skin, a cut or a hand-to-mouth moment can spread illness. That is why the crew wears gloves, boots, eye protection and a respirator.

• Stop flushing every toilet in the house.
• Keep everyone out of the bathroom, especially children and pets.
• Leave plunging and snaking to the plumber if sewage keeps coming.
• Wash hands with soap and clean water after any contact.
• Photograph the floor, the bowl and any ceiling stain below.
