What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Drywall wicks sewage up the wall and stays damp inside. The longer it sits, the more likely mold becomes a problem behind the paint.
- Stay out of the crawl space and keep the access hatch closed
- Turn the heating and cooling fan off if ducts run under the house, so odor does not circulate
- Stop using the toilets, tubs, sinks and washer that feed the damaged pipe
- Skip the look inside, since sewage, tight spaces and poor air flow add real risk
- Photograph the hatch, any visible water and the room where the smell is strongest
