A loss involving wastewater returning through a drain or fixture may reach basement floors, porous finishes and stored contents. Common calls involve sewage in basement, sewage from floor drain, and sewage from toilet. The visible wet spot rarely shows the full path.

For a toilet overflow, the source must be controlled first. A water damage technician then checks contamination and removes water from affected rooms.

How Sewage Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Berkeley

1. Remove the standing water

   Basement pump-out lowers the water so materials can be assessed.

2. Map the moisture

   A technician checks wall bases and adjoining rooms for water migration.

3. Open what holds water

   The technician explains material removal based on contamination and readings.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues after the visible puddle disappears from the floor.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous drywall absorbs floodwater along its lower edge. The crew checks the depth and contamination before deciding what can remain.

• Keep people and pets out; avoid touching the wastewater.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
• Photograph the damage before moving items.
