How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Fork Union

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Sewage adds bacteria on top of that, so speed matters twice.

1. 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.

2. Map where the sewage went

   Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Baseboards, particleboard cabinets and padded furniture soaked in sewage usually cannot be saved. The crew lists each item for the claim before bagging it.

4. 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.
