How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Stanton
Drywall wicks sewage up the wall and stays damp inside. The longer it sits, the more likely mold becomes a problem behind the paint.
-
Pump out the standing sewage
The crew checks the electrical situation before powered equipment goes in. Wet outlets and cords stay off until a qualified person has looked at them.
-
Map where the sewage went
The crew tests the crawl space or subfloor when sewage may have run beneath the finished floor. Insulation under a floor soaks it up like a sponge.
-
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.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.
