How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Port Edwards

Dry-looking drywall can still hold water inside. Growth can start behind a wall where nobody sees it, and it is hard to catch early. A moisture meter and a thermal camera show what the eye misses.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Cut out what it soaked

    Carpet, pad and insulation that soaked up sewage are taken out and bagged. Under the drying standard, these porous materials cannot be cleaned to a safe level.

  4. Sanitize, dry and check

    Floors, slabs and framing are scrubbed and treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Then air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go in, placed by the size of the room and the materials in it.
