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.
Tenants should call the landlord first, since the owner decides who clears the pipe. The crew can begin the removal as soon as the owner approves.

How City Sewer Backup Removal Works in Cando
-
Pump out the standing sewage
Low spots under shelves and behind stored boxes get pumped last, because that is where sewage hides. A second pass lifts what the first one missed.
-
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.
-
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
LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, sized to the room. Wet framing and subfloor give up their moisture faster in a controlled space.

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

A backup can spread under paneling and carpet before anyone sees it.
Frozen ground holds snowmelt on top, and the extra water flows into storm and sewer systems. A main that fills can back up through basement drains.
