How Main Sewer Line Backup Removal Works in Carney

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   The crew checks the electrical situation before powered equipment goes in. Wet outlets and cords stay off until a qualified person has looked at them.

2. Map where the sewage went

   Photos go into the claim file before anything moves. The crew records each room, each drain and each damaged material.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Wet drywall is cut out above the wet line, often well past the visible stain. The studs behind it stay and get cleaned.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, sized to the room. Wet framing and subfloor give up their moisture faster in a controlled space.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Daily moisture readings show when wood and concrete have dried enough. The crew does not call a room finished on feel alone.

• 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
