- 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

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.
What should a caller mention when asking about shower drain sewage backup removal?
Name the drain that backed up, how far the sewage spread and what the floors are made of. Call (888) 578-6508 and say whether it is still rising.
