In Strathmore, the first call and the second call can happen in the same hour. The plumber and the removal crew do not need each other to get started.

How Main Sewer Line Backup Removal Works in Strathmore
-
Pump out the standing sewage
Low spots under shelves and behind stored boxes get pumped last, because that is where sewage hides. A second pass lifts what the first one missed.
-
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.
-
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.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Sewage carries bacteria and viruses that can make people sick. Skin contact, splashes and a drain that sprays as it flows are all ways it spreads.
- 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
