How Main Sewer Line Backup Cleanup Works in Bon Aqua
-
Extract the sewage
Speed matters in this step because every hour pushes more sewage into the floor. Crews in Bon Aqua pump first and seal off the work area so the spread stops.

Map where it traveled
Photos go with the map. Dated pictures of the source, the water line and the damaged belongings give an insurer a clear starting record.

- Call a plumber to check and clear the main line.
- Keep everyone out of rooms with sewage on the floor.
- Do not run a bath or the washer to test whether the pipe is clear.
- Photograph every room that has sewage before anything moves.
