Every drain in the house feeds the main sewer line. When that pipe blocks from roots, grease, wipes or a collapsed section, sewage looks for the lowest openings. It can rise in a basement drain, a shower and a toilet in the same hour.

Clearing a clog and repairing a sewer pipe are plumbing work. The crew does neither, and its job begins where the sewage left the pipe.

How Main Sewer Line Backup Removal Works in Casco

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

   A moisture meter shows how far the sewage wicked into walls and subfloors. The reading often reaches past what the eye can see.

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

   A final walkthrough checks the cleaned surfaces and the readings. The crew hands over its photos, lists and logs for the insurance claim.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Closing the door on a wet basement does not stop mold. The crew pumps out the sewage, hauls away the soaked materials and dries the structure with LGR dehumidifiers.

• 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
