-
Pump out the standing sewage

Map where the sewage went
Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.

Cut out and haul away what soaked
Baseboards, particleboard cabinets and padded furniture soaked in sewage usually cannot be saved. The crew lists each item for the claim before bagging it.

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.
- Stop all water use, including toilets, sinks and the washer, until the drain is cleared
- Keep children and pets out of the bathroom
- Wear gloves and boots before touching wet mats or towels, or leave them for the crew
- Never pour drain cleaner into a drain that is backing up, since it can splash back
- Photograph the tub, the floor and the water line before anything is moved

Shower Drain Sewage Backup Removal Questions in Udall
Why does sewage come out of the shower when the toilet flushes?
Both drain to the same pipe. When the pipe below is blocked, flush water has nowhere to go and exits at the lowest opening, which is often the shower or tub drain.
Is the water in the shower pan really sewage?
If it came up from the drain, yes. It can look gray from soap and hair, but it carries the same bacteria as the sewage behind it. Crews treat it as Category 3.
What records come with shower drain sewage backup removal?
Photos, a list of removed materials, moisture readings and a description of the work. They go in the claim file.
What if sewage returns after shower drain sewage backup removal?
The pipe still has a problem. A plumber should find the cause before the rebuild starts, and the crew can reassess if sewage comes back.
Does shower drain sewage backup removal cover the rebuild too?
