How Sewage Backup Flood Cleanup Works in Mclean
-
Remove standing water
The technician begins with the rooms holding the most water. Electrical hazards are addressed before wet-room access.

-
Dry and verify

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Keep people and pets out of the affected area.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
- Call Flood Cleanup Response Team at (888) 471-9821, 24/7, and describe the sewage backup water.

The crew dries the damaged structure after a plumber stops the source. A separate plumbing assessment identifies the actual failure.
