How Sewage Backup Emergency Help Works in Clarissa

1. Isolate and extract wastewater

   Workers keep occupants away, use protective gear and pull wastewater from the affected floor.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   Moisture mapping separates an obvious wet floor from concealed material that also needs attention.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Workers open affected cavities as needed and remove materials that cannot be safely cleaned.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Technicians adjust equipment to the affected structure and log daily progress in the dry-out.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

After the dirty water is extracted, moisture can persist under flooring. Technicians meter those areas and keep drying equipment in place according to readings.

• Keep children, pets and bare skin away from the affected room.
• Stop using sinks, toilets, showers and laundry fixtures that feed the blocked drain.
• Call a plumber to clear the source; do not run more water to test the drain.
• Avoid outlets, cords and appliances near the wastewater. Stay out if electrical safety is uncertain.
• Photograph the visible damage from a safe, dry place and leave contaminated belongings in place.
