Sewage carries bacteria, viruses and parasites. Whatever the cause, a clogged private sewer pipe, a backed-up city main or a failed fixture, the cleanup inside the house follows Category 3 rules from the start.
City main or private pipe?
The City of Azle Utility Maintenance department lists sewer backed up into a house and manholes overflowing or bubbling among the times to call the city, so a backup from the main gets reported right away. A clog in the private pipe between the house and the main is a plumber's job. Either way, the cleanup inside the home is the same.
How a sewage backup is cleaned
Technicians wear protective suits, gloves, boots and respirators. Containment keeps the affected rooms separate, and air scrubbers run while work is under way.
- Sewage extracted and solids removed
- Carpet, pad, drywall and insulation up to and above the waterline removed
- EPA-registered antimicrobial applied at its dwell time
- Structure dried and readings logged
