What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A warm, humid week in Progreso speeds all of this up. A cold basement slows it, but wet materials still have to come out.
- Stop all water use, including toilets, sinks and the washer, until the drain is cleared
- Keep children and pets out of the bathroom
- Wear gloves and boots before touching wet mats or towels, or leave them for the crew
- Never pour drain cleaner into a drain that is backing up, since it can splash back
- Photograph the tub, the floor and the water line before anything is moved

Shower Drain Sewage Backup Removal Questions in Progreso
Why does sewage come out of the shower when the toilet flushes?
Both drain to the same pipe. When the pipe below is blocked, flush water has nowhere to go and exits at the lowest opening, which is often the shower or tub drain.
Is the water in the shower pan really sewage?
If it came up from the drain, yes. It can look gray from soap and hair, but it carries the same bacteria as the sewage behind it. Crews treat it as Category 3.
Do I have to move everything before shower drain sewage backup removal starts?
No. Move only items you can lift without stepping in sewage. The crew handles the rest.
Does shower drain sewage backup removal include sanitizing?
Yes. Hard surfaces get scrubbed and treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant before drying begins.
Can shower drain sewage backup removal start at night?
Call 24/7. Sewage soaks in after dark, so a night call is worth making.
