How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Big Clifty

Sewage carries bacteria and viruses that can make people sick. Skin contact, splashes and a drain that sprays as it flows are all ways it spreads.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Low spots under shelves and behind stored boxes get pumped last, because that is where sewage hides. A second pass lifts what the first one missed.

2. Map where the sewage went

   A moisture meter shows how far the sewage wicked into walls and subfloors. The reading often reaches past what the eye can see.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Hard items such as tile, metal and sealed wood are cleaned and kept when they can be. The crew sorts as it goes.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, sized to the room. Wet framing and subfloor give up their moisture faster in a controlled space.
