Water that rises from the drain side of a toilet is not clean tank water. It carries waste and bacteria, and it runs over the rim onto the bathroom floor, where it seeps under flooring and around the base of the toilet.

Running a drain machine through the sewer pipe does not take sewage out of the carpet. The crew pumps, cuts out and disinfects while the plumber works on the cause.

How Toilet Sewage Backup Removal Works in New Market

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

   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.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Insulation that touched sewage cannot be dried and reused. It goes into heavy bags and out of the house.

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

A fan pointed at sewage pushes germs through the air and does not make the room safe. Drying comes after the sewage and the soaked materials are out.

• Close the shutoff valve behind the toilet if you can reach it without stepping in the water
• Keep every other fixture off, since the water may be coming from a blocked main drain
• Put on rubber gloves and boots before touching anything wet
• Keep children and pets out of the bathroom and the hall
• Take photos of the floor, the toilet and any ceiling stain below

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Photograph and list each item before it goes in a bag. Ask the insurer whether it wants to see anything first, since sewage-soaked items are usually removed quickly for health reasons.

• Read any claim release carefully before signing
• Ask about the backup limit and the deductible
• Keep the crew's list of materials removed

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
