How Sewage Backup Emergency Help Works in Ohkay Owingeh

1. Isolate and extract wastewater

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

2. Map contamination and moisture

   The team checks seams, trim and adjacent rooms to learn where dirty water traveled.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Material removal follows the actual sewage exposure, with disposal recorded for the claim file.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Drying equipment runs after cleaning. Repeated readings show whether remaining materials are reaching the target.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous materials touched by sewage often need disposal. The exposed framing and other remaining surfaces then need cleaning and controlled drying.

• 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.
