How Main Sewer Line Backup Removal Works in Clancy
-
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 crew tests the crawl space or subfloor when sewage may have run beneath the finished floor. Insulation under a floor soaks it up like a sponge.
-
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.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.

- 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
