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.

A cracked sewer pipe under a slab can mean the plumber opens the floor. Tell the cleanup crew about that plan so the pump-out, the removal and the dry-out line up with it. Good timing can save a second round of digging and drying.

How Main Sewer Line Backup Cleanup Works in Bluejacket

1. Extract the sewage

   The crew starts with the water. Submersible pumps and truck-mounted extraction pull sewage off the floor and out of the house, and the hose runs to a safe disposal point.

2. 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.

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

   Drying usually takes about three to five days after removal. Concrete, thick materials and long-sitting sewage can add days, and the technician adjusts the plan to match.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet carpet pad and drywall act like sponges. They hold contaminated water against the floor and the studs long after the puddle is gone. Removing them early keeps germs and mold from settling in.

• Stop using every toilet, sink, shower and washing machine.
• Call a plumber to check and clear the main line.
• Keep everyone out of rooms with sewage on the floor.
• Do not run a bath or the washer to test whether the pipe is clear.
• Photograph every room that has sewage before anything moves.
