How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Garrett

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.

1. 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.

2. Map where the sewage went

   The technician marks the wet line on every wall and notes what each room is made of. That map decides what comes out.

3. 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.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.
