Oftentimes, homeowners know what caused sewage damage, and can determine whether to call a plumber or the city sewer emergency line. At the same time and prior to calling your insurance company, it is a good idea to call a water cleanup company. Remember water cleanup companies do not fix plumbing problems, and plumbers do not perform water cleanup and restoration.

Sewage Backup Greensboro NC: Sewage backing up into the bathtub is one of the most unpleasant things a homeowner may discover upon entering a finished basement or first floor bathroom. Bathtub filling with sewage usually happens when your septic system fails and sewage that is supposed to flow into the septic tank backs up into the lowest level of your home overflowing bathtubs and toilets Bathtub sewage backup may also happen if your main drain is blocked. Bathtub Sewage Overflow can be quickly handled by Sewage Damage Cleanup & Repair specialists.
Do not flush or run water anywhere in the house.
If you decide to use buckets to extract sewage from bathtub, do NOT pour it into the sink! If you poured drain cleaner chemicals into your tub and it didn't help, always remember: they are highly toxic! Use caution and always warn plumber if you tried using drain cleaner chemicals lately.
Toilet Overflow Greensboro NC: Toilet Overflow is one of the common causes of residential sewage damage. Toilet overflow is usually a result of a septic backup or a blocked drain.
Avoid septic system failure by performing regular maintenance and avoid drain blockage by not flushing items such as sanitary wipes, cat litter, condoms and other things that are not intended to be flushed and you will not have overflowing toilet.
If you believe your toilet is about to overflow (raising sewage water in the toilet bowl), you can prevent devastating sewage damage or limit sewage contamination by following these steps quickly:
Take the toilet tank lid off and plug the rubber flapper valve into the drain leading to the toilet. Then lift up the floater to stop water from entering the toilet tank and lock it in this position. Reach down and close toilet water supply valve. Call the plumber.
If you noticed toilet overflow too late and sewage has already spilled on the floor, that means area is contaminated. Based on what materials have been touched by sewage, you may need to have them removed. If the contaminated area is small 1-2 square feet, hard (tile) and you cleaned sewage up and disinfected the area immediately (wear gloves), you may not need to call water and sewage damage restoration experts. Just the plumber.
However, if you didn't notice overflowing toilet and the toilet overflow affected area is medium to large or if the material is porous (carpet, vinyl, linoleum) or sewage sat there for longer than about 10-20 minutes, you need to call sewage damage restoration company to clean it up. Sewage damage experts usually will arrive quickly and come prepared. Ask the sewage restoration technician what needs to be done and discuss options of filing insurance claim or paying out of pocket.
Cleaning technicians should normally remove the contaminated materials that can not be disinfected in place following the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration standards, apply anti-microbial solution that kills bacteria, parasites, mold & mildew, steam and dry the area.
