Every drain in the house feeds the main sewer line. When that pipe blocks from roots, grease, wipes or a collapsed section, sewage looks for the lowest openings. It can rise in a basement drain, a shower and a toilet in the same hour.
Clearing a clog and repairing a sewer pipe are plumbing work. The crew does neither, and its job begins where the sewage left the pipe.

How Main Sewer Line Backup Removal Works in Sizerock
-
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.
-
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
Hard items such as tile, metal and sealed wood are cleaned and kept when they can be. The crew sorts as it goes.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, sized to the room. Wet framing and subfloor give up their moisture faster in a controlled space.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Carpet and pad hold sewage against the subfloor. Pulling them out early gives mold less to grow on and cuts the germs sitting in the house.
- 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
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 64% of homes here predate 1960 and 28% date from 2000 on, so the crew sees old clay pipe and new plastic pipe in the same area. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Sizerock was built in the 1950s. Wide, deep basements in older homes hold a lot of sewage. Pumping them takes several passes.
Roots grow through the warm months and pipes shift in the cold ones. The two together weaken joints year after year.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim
Flood insurance and homeowners insurance cover different events. Sewage that comes up a drain is usually a backup claim and not a flood claim. Ask your insurer which one applies to your loss.
- Keep the crew's daily moisture logs in the claim folder
- Keep copies of every claim form you send
- Ask whether the policy includes water backup coverage
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.

Main Sewer Line Backup Removal Questions in Sizerock
Why did several drains back up at once?
They all join the main sewer line. A blockage in it sends wastewater back up through every fixture that feeds it, with the lowest ones overflowing first.
Who clears the blockage, the crew or a plumber?
A plumber. The crew extracts the sewage and sanitizes the home, and it does not clear or fix sewer pipes.
What records come with main sewer line backup removal?
Photos, a list of removed materials, moisture readings and a description of the work. They go in the claim file.
Will insurance pay for main sewer line backup removal?
Many standard policies exclude sewer backup unless an endorsement was added. Coverage depends on the policy, so check with your own insurer.
How does the crew handle odor during main sewer line backup removal?
The smell fades when the source is gone. The crew pumps out the sewage, hauls away soaked materials and cleans, and HEPA air scrubbers can help with the air.
