Technicians first identify if the water is from a drain or sewer line and determine its contamination category. They map how far the backup has spread through the Cos Cob home's layout to plan the cleanup.
The crew extracts all standing water. For contaminated category 2 or 3 backups common here, they safely remove porous materials like damaged drywall or carpet that absorbed the water to prevent mold.
All hard surfaces are cleaned and sanitized. The structure is dried with industrial equipment to a verified standard. A plumber is coordinated to clear the main line to prevent recurrence.

Sewer and drain backups may require a specific insurance endorsement, so the cause and scope are documented for the carrier.
