Signs to look for
When to call us for sewage backup cleanup
Our restoration team explains it this way: If you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
The water has a strong sewer smell
Before we move forward, we help you understand this: That smell is gas and organic material coming out of the waste system.
There is visible soil, paper or solid matter in the water
For a calmer next step, remember this: Toilet paper, wipes and food waste in the water confirm the source without any further diagnosis.
The water came up rather than down
Here is what this means for your property: Clean water losses fall from above or spread from a burst line.
More than one fixture is affected at the same time
Our restoration team uses this point to organize the work: A single overflowing toilet is one problem.
The water sat for more than a day before anyone noticed
A clear recovery plan starts with this detail: Even water that started clean grows heavy bacterial loads after a day or two at room temperature.
What happens
How we handle sewage backup cleanup
Our restoration team adjusts the work to what you can see is wet, where the water reached, and the materials that can be saved.
Safety assessment before anyone enters
We make this part easier to understand: Power to the room touched by water is switched off from a dry location before a crew steps in.
Sealed work area barriers and controlled air
To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: Plastic sealed work area barriers close off doorways and openings so contamination stays in one place.
Crews in full protective equipment
Our restoration team explains it this way: Personal protective equipment on a sewage job means disposable coveralls, boot covers, nitrile gloves, eye protection and a respirator.
Waste and standing contaminated water removed
Our monitored-drying plan is based on this: Solids and bulk liquid come out first and go straight into sealed containers for controlled disposal.
Unsalvageable porous materials removed and documented
We make this part easier to understand: Carpet, carpet padding, upholstered furniture, mattresses, particleboard and cardboard in the affected zone come out.
Flood cut of wet drywall and insulation where needed
To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: Where sewage wicked up into wall material, a flood cut removes drywall and insulation back to a clean line above the verified reach of the contamination.
