How Main Sewer Line Backup Cleanup Works in Malone

1. Extract the sewage

   Speed matters in this step because every hour pushes more sewage into the floor. Crews in Malone pump first and seal off the work area so the spread stops.

2. Map where it traveled

   Baseboards, door casings and cabinet toe-kicks are checked first, since sewage wicks upward there. The numbers tell the crew how high the cut needs to go.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Drywall is cut above the water line, usually a little higher to catch wicking. The crew removes the wet section, bags it and leaves clean framing exposed to dry.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   HEPA air filtration runs during the work to catch airborne dust. After sanitizing, the crew sets the drying equipment and leaves it running.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Children, older adults, pregnant women and people with asthma or weak immune systems feel the effects first. They should stay out of the wet area. A quick cleanup protects the whole household.

• 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.
