Tubs and showers sit low in the plumbing, so they are often the first fixtures to show a blockage in the pipe below. The water rises through the drain, fills the pan and spills over the curb or tub edge onto the bathroom floor.

Tenants should call the landlord first, since the owner decides who clears the pipe. The crew can begin the removal as soon as the owner approves.

How Shower Drain Sewage Backup Removal Works in Beaver Falls

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Low spots under shelves and behind stored boxes get pumped last, because that is where sewage hides. A second pass lifts what the first one missed.

2. Map where the sewage went

   Photos go into the claim file before anything moves. The crew records each room, each drain and each damaged material.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   The crew handles the loading and disposal of the bags. The homeowner does not carry sewage-soaked materials out alone.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A fan pointed at sewage pushes germs through the air and does not make the room safe. Drying comes after the sewage and the soaked materials are out.

• Stop all water use, including toilets, sinks and the washer, until the drain is cleared
• Keep children and pets out of the bathroom
• Wear gloves and boots before touching wet mats or towels, or leave them for the crew
• Never pour drain cleaner into a drain that is backing up, since it can splash back
• Photograph the tub, the floor and the water line before anything is moved
