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.
A plumber who finds the stoppage out in the city main will say so, and the city sewer department takes over that part. The crew still removes whatever reached the house.

How City Sewer Backup Removal Works in Reddick
-
Pump out the standing sewage
The crew suits up in boots, gloves, a respirator and coveralls before anyone steps into the wet area. Submersible pumps and extractors start moving the standing sewage out.
-
Map where the sewage went
The crew tests the crawl space or subfloor when sewage may have run beneath the finished floor. Insulation under a floor soaks it up like a sponge.
-
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.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
HEPA air scrubbers can run during tear-out and cleaning to catch particles in the air. Containment helps keep the work area separate from the rest of the house.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Carpet and pad hold sewage against the subfloor. Pulling them out early gives mold less to grow on and cuts the germs sitting in the house.
- 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
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 17% of homes here predate 1960 and 28% date from 2000 on, so the crew sees old clay pipe and new plastic pipe in the same area. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Reddick was built in the 1990s. Early plastic fittings from this period sometimes shifted as the soil settled. A plumber's camera shows whether a dip is holding waste.
Warm, humid air slows drying and speeds up the mold risk. The crew sets dehumidifiers to pull moisture out fast.
