How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Upper Lake
A warm, humid week in Upper Lake speeds all of this up. A cold basement slows it, but wet materials still have to come out.
-
Pump out the standing sewage
Hoses carry the sewage to a proper disposal point. It never goes to a storm drain, a yard or a neighbor's property.
-
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
The technician returns to take daily moisture readings and moves equipment as walls dry. The job ends when the readings reach the dry goal, not before.
