What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Sewage carries bacteria and viruses that can make people sick. Skin contact, splashes and a drain that sprays as it flows are all ways it spreads.
- 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

Shower Drain Sewage Backup Removal Questions in Pendleton
Why does sewage come out of the shower when the toilet flushes?
Both drain to the same pipe. When the pipe below is blocked, flush water has nowhere to go and exits at the lowest opening, which is often the shower or tub drain.
Is the water in the shower pan really sewage?
If it came up from the drain, yes. It can look gray from soap and hair, but it carries the same bacteria as the sewage behind it. Crews treat it as Category 3.
Does shower drain sewage backup removal include hauling away soaked materials?
Yes. Carpet, pad, insulation and wet drywall that sewage reached are cut out, bagged and carried away.
Will insurance pay for shower drain sewage backup removal?
Many standard policies exclude sewer backup unless an endorsement was added. Coverage depends on the policy, so check with your own insurer.
Shower Drain Sewage Backup Removal: what does the crew do first in Pendleton?
