Protect people before sorting wastewater responsibility
Keep people away from wastewater and separate drainage, cleanup, Town, and emergency tasks.
Do not enter or touch an area affected by sewage or floodwater. Pause contributing water when that can be done safely and follow emergency or public-health direction for unsafe conditions.

Moisture clues
Five observations that shape this decision
Keep each item as evidence for the call. None of these observations establishes a hidden cause by itself.
Contributing water
Stop fixture use that may add wastewater when it is safe to do so.
First return point
Name the lowest fixture, drain, cleanout area, or exterior entry seen from safety.
Official notice
Attach the current Town or emergency message, not an old screenshot alone.
Cleanup boundary
Do not call a restored drain proof that contacted materials are clean or safe.
Problem pathway
Move from the visible clue to supported work
Record the first affected fixture or entry point, rooms involved, rain or flood timing, public notices, and safe observations from outside the area. Contact the Sewer Division for public-system questions and a verified professional for private-property plumbing.
