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.
Running a drain machine through the sewer pipe does not take sewage out of the carpet. The crew pumps, cuts out and disinfects while the plumber works on the cause.

How City Sewer Backup Removal Works in Ebro
-
Pump out the standing sewage
Hoses carry the sewage to a proper disposal point. It never goes to a storm drain, a yard or a neighbor's property.
-
Map where the sewage went
Thermal imaging picks out cool, wet areas behind drywall. The crew confirms each one with a meter before any cutting starts.
-
Cut out and haul away what soaked
Carpet and pad come up first, cut into manageable strips and double-bagged. They leave through a protected path, not across clean floors.
-
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.
