How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Drifting
Closing the door on a wet basement does not stop mold. The crew pumps out the sewage, hauls away the soaked materials and dries the structure with LGR dehumidifiers.
-
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
A moisture meter shows how far the sewage wicked into walls and subfloors. The reading often reaches past what the eye can see.
-
Cut out and haul away what soaked
Insulation that touched sewage cannot be dried and reused. It goes into heavy bags and out of the house.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
HEPA air scrubbers can run during tear-out and cleaning to catch particles in the air. Containment helps keep the work area separate from the rest of the house.
