How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Cedars
A warm, humid week in Cedars speeds all of this up. A cold basement slows it, but wet materials still have to come out.
-
Pump out the standing sewage
The crew suits up in boots, gloves, a respirator and coveralls before anyone steps into the wet area. Submersible pumps and extractors start moving the standing sewage out.
-
Map where the sewage went
Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.
-
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.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Spring thaw puts a heavy load on city sewers in cold states. Backups can show up as the snow melts.
