A loss involving wastewater returning through a drain or fixture may reach basement floors, porous finishes and stored contents. Common calls involve sewage in basement, sewage from floor drain, and sewage from toilet. The visible wet spot rarely shows the full path.

For a toilet overflow, the source must be controlled first. A water damage technician then checks contamination and removes water from affected rooms.
