How Shower Drain Sewage Backup Removal Works in Cascade

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Hoses carry the sewage to a proper disposal point. It never goes to a storm drain, a yard or a neighbor's property.

2. Map where the sewage went

   The technician marks the wet line on every wall and notes what each room is made of. That map decides what comes out.

3. 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.

4. 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

Daily moisture readings show when wood and concrete have dried enough. The crew does not call a room finished on feel alone.

• 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
