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