-
Pump out the standing sewage
Plastic sheeting and sealed paths protect the dry rooms. Foot traffic through clean areas stays to a minimum.

Map where the sewage went
The technician marks the wet line on every wall and notes what each room is made of. That map decides what comes out.

Cut out and haul away what soaked
The crew handles the loading and disposal of the bags. The homeowner does not carry sewage-soaked materials out alone.

HEPA air scrubbers can run during tear-out and cleaning to catch particles in the air. Containment helps keep the work area separate from the rest of the house.

Long freezes in this area put stress on buried sewer pipe. A winter that cracks a pipe may only show up as a backup in spring. Owners can ask the plumber to write down the cause of the backup. That report helps explain the loss to the adjuster.
