Tubs and showers sit low in the plumbing, so they are often the first fixtures to show a blockage in the pipe below. The water rises through the drain, fills the pan and spills over the curb or tub edge onto the bathroom floor.

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 Shower Drain Sewage Backup Removal Works in Olean

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

   Photos go into the claim file before anything moves. The crew records each room, each drain and each damaged material.

3. 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.

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

Children, older adults, pregnant people and anyone with a weak immune system face more risk. They should stay away from the wet area, and a doctor can answer questions about symptoms.

• 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
