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.
Sewage on the floor does not wait for the plumber to arrive. Call the cleanup crew first if the plumber is hours away, and shut off water use in the house. Every hour of waiting pushes the sewage deeper into carpet and drywall.

How Main Sewer Line Backup Cleanup Works in Clyo
-
Extract the sewage
Standing sewage is the first thing to go. The extraction specialist picks a pump for the depth and a wand tool for carpet and tight corners, and keeps going until the floor stops giving up liquid.
-
Map where it traveled
Sewage rarely stays where it came in. The crew checks the base of every wall near the affected rooms and records the readings for the job file.
-
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.
-
Sanitize, dry and check
Floors, slabs and framing are scrubbed and treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Then air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go in, placed by the size of the room and the materials in it.
