What City Sewer Backup Removal Includes in Secor
In Secor, a plumber clears the blockage and a removal crew clears the sewage. For City Sewer Backup Removal, call Sewage Backup Removal Pros around the clock.
City sewers carry waste from many homes through shared mains. When rain overloads a main or a blockage stops it, sewage looks for the lowest drains, and basements and ground-floor bathrooms take it first. Some older cities use combined pipes that carry sewage and stormwater together, and those can overflow in heavy rain.
Running a drain machine through the sewer pipe does not take sewage out of the carpet. The crew pumps, cuts out and disinfects while the plumber works on the cause.

How City Sewer Backup Removal Works in Secor
-
Pump out the standing sewage
Truck-mounted equipment handles big volumes, and portable extractors reach basements with tight stairs. The crew picks the tool that fits the house.
-
Map where the sewage went
Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.
-
Cut out and haul away what soaked
Wet drywall is cut out above the wet line, often well past the visible stain. The studs behind it stay and get cleaned.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, sized to the room. Wet framing and subfloor give up their moisture faster in a controlled space.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Children, older adults, pregnant people and anyone with a weak immune system face more risk. They should stay away from the wet area, and a doctor can answer questions about symptoms.
- Stop using water at home so you do not add to the flow
- Stay out of the basement and away from standing water, which may touch power
- Call the sewer authority or public works to report the backup
- Photograph the water, the drains and the street if it is flooded
- Keep your insurance policy handy and check for sewer and drain backup coverage
