Help With a Sewage Backup in Moss
In the Moss area, a sewage backup is handled as contaminated water from the first step: the area is contained, the sewage is extracted and every touched surface is disinfected.
Sewage water extraction is available in Moss and nearby West Valley, Nampa and Victory. The pros handle toilet overflows, floor drain backups and main line backups in homes and businesses.
Sewage Water Extraction Work in Moss
Emergency Sewage Pump Out
Pump-out is the first step when sewage covers more than one room. Extraction and cleaning follow once the bulk water is gone.
Sewage Odor Removal
The smell comes from waste left in porous materials. Removing those materials and cleaning the hard surfaces does most of the work.
Sewage Damage Sanitization
Floors, walls, cabinets and fixtures touched by sewage are cleaned with detergent first, then treated with a registered disinfectant.
Flooded Basement Cleanup
Basement cleanup includes the floor drain area, the laundry and mechanical spaces, and storage items that sat in the water.
Sewage Backup Cleanup
Cleanup covers floors, the lower part of walls, cabinets and fixtures touched by the backup, followed by disinfection and drying.
How to Tell Sewage Is Backing Up
Flies and Pests Near Drains
Drain flies or other insects gathering around a floor drain or bathroom can mean sewage is sitting where it should not be.
Wet Drywall Near Bathrooms
Damp, stained or soft drywall next to a bathroom or laundry can mean a leaking drain inside the wall.
Water in the Yard Cleanout
Water standing in or overflowing from the sewer cleanout pipe outside means the sewer pipe is blocked past that point.
Sewage Coming Up Through Drains
Dirty water rising in a floor drain, shower or tub, especially when another fixture is used, means the drain line is blocked.
How Sewage Water Extraction Works in Moss
Step 1: Sort Belongings
Items that sewage touched are sorted into those that can be cleaned, such as hard plastics, and those that must be thrown out.
Step 2: Extract the Sewage
Sewage and dirty water are extracted from every affected room, starting where it is deepest.
Step 3: Contaminated Drywall Removal
Wet drywall and insulation are removed so the wall cavities can be cleaned and disinfected.
Step 4: Dry and Deodorize
Drying equipment runs with air scrubbers until materials are dry and the air no longer smells of sewage.
Why Sewage Backs Up Into Homes
Collapsed or Sagging Pipe
Old pipes can crack, sag or collapse as soil shifts, leaving low spots where waste collects and blocks the flow.
Heavy Storm Runoff
Storm water that gets into sewer lines through cracks or illegal connections can overwhelm them and cause backups.
Flushed Wipes and Debris
Wipes, paper towels and hygiene products do not break down like toilet paper and form clogs in the main line.
Toilet and Fixture Clogs
A clogged toilet that keeps getting flushed can overflow sewage across the bathroom and into rooms nearby.

Sewage Cleanup: DIY or Professional?
Keep children and pets away from the area. Do not walk through sewage without boots and gloves, and do not track it into other rooms.
What Sewage Water Extraction Costs in Moss
Costs rise when sewage sits for a long time, because it soaks deeper into walls and flooring and makes odor harder to remove.
Amount of Sewage
A few inches across one room needs less pumping and extraction than sewage that spread across several rooms.
Materials Removed
Carpet, pad, drywall, insulation and cabinets touched by sewage are removed and disposed of, which adds to the cost.
Belongings
Sorting, cleaning or disposing of furniture and stored items that sat in sewage adds labor to the job.
Does Insurance Cover Sewage Water Extraction?
Coverage can depend on the cause. A backup from the city sewer may be handled differently than one from a clog in your own line.

Questions About Sewage Water Extraction
What causes sewage to back up into a house?
Common causes are tree roots in the sewer line, grease and wipes in the pipes, a collapsed pipe and city sewers overloaded by heavy rain.
Is bleach enough to clean up sewage?
No. Bleach does not work well on surfaces still covered in waste, and it cannot clean porous materials. Removal and proper cleaning come first.
Can I clean up sewage myself?
Small spills on hard floors can be, with gloves, boots and disinfectant. Sewage that reached carpet, walls or several rooms needs professional cleanup.
Can sewage damage spread to other rooms?
Yes. Sewage wicks into walls and runs under flooring and cabinets. The pros check rooms next to the backup as well as the room it started in.
Can a backup happen again after cleanup?
If the cause in the sewer line is not fixed, yes. A plumber can inspect the line, and a backwater valve can help in some homes.
