Pump out the standing sewage

Map where the sewage went
Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Closing the door on a wet basement does not stop mold. The crew pumps out the sewage, hauls away the soaked materials and dries the structure with LGR dehumidifiers.
- Stay out of the crawl space and keep the access hatch closed
- Turn the heating and cooling fan off if ducts run under the house, so odor does not circulate
- Stop using the toilets, tubs, sinks and washer that feed the damaged pipe
- Skip the look inside, since sewage, tight spaces and poor air flow add real risk
- Photograph the hatch, any visible water and the room where the smell is strongest
