A house in a city can have a carport, a side door and a back yard, and water can come in through any of them. The crew checks each entry, records the route the water took and reads the walls and floors around it.
Where the water reached a wall that is shared with a neighbor or an attached space, the crew reads both sides and explains the result before any removal begins.

Keep people out of the room, stop using the fixtures that are backing up, and call the line. The crew closes the room off and removes the water as contaminated. Do not run water down the drain while the backup is still in the room, and do not use a chemical drain cleaner, which can splash and make the cleanup harder.
