Control use and exposure
Stop water use that feeds the backup and keep people and pets away from contaminated areas until appropriate cleanup begins.
Restore sewer flow
The blockage must be cleared so wastewater no longer returns through the lowest available opening.
Document the likely cause
A camera inspection can reveal roots, damage, deposits, or other conditions that could make the event recur.
Coordinate restoration
Damaged finishes and contents can be addressed after the sewer system is stable. Spokane Rooter handles sewer and drain work, not general remediation.
Questions specific to this resource
sewer-backup recovery planning FAQ
Does Spokane Rooter perform building restoration?
Spokane Rooter focuses on sewer inspection, clearing, and repair. Specialized remediation or reconstruction may require another provider.
Should I run water to test the blockage?
If wastewater is backing up, avoid adding more water until the line is assessed or cleared.
Why inspect after clearing?
Inspection can help identify a recurring cause rather than treating the backup as an isolated event.
