How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Dodgeville
A sour smell after a backup is a clue that something is still wet or still contaminated. The odor does not leave until the source materials come out and the area is dry. Air fresheners only cover it up.
-
Extract the sewage
The crew starts with the water. Submersible pumps and truck-mounted extraction pull sewage off the floor and out of the house, and the hose runs to a safe disposal point.
-
Map where it traveled
Sewage rarely stays where it came in. The crew checks the base of every wall near the affected rooms and records the readings for the job file.
-
Cut out what it soaked
Belongings get sorted by what they are made of. Hard, nonporous items can often be sanitized, while soft items that soaked up sewage are discarded after they are photographed.
-
Sanitize, dry and check
Daily visits bring a moisture meter and a notebook. Readings are compared with the dry goal, and equipment is moved or added when a number stalls.

Sewer Backup Cleanup Questions in Dodgeville
Can I wait until morning to call about sewage in Dodgeville?
Waiting lets sewage soak deeper, and mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours. Call now, since dispatch runs 24/7.
Is sewage in a Dodgeville basement dangerous?
Yes. Sewage carries bacteria, viruses and parasites. Keep children and pets out, wear boots, gloves and eye protection if you must step in, and call a crew.
How long does drying take in Dodgeville after a sewer backup?
Once the sewage is out and the soaked materials are removed, drying usually takes about three to five days. Concrete or sewage that sat longer can add time. The crew's daily readings show when it is done.

Can I clean up sewage myself in Dodgeville?
