How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Thorndale

Carpet and pad hold sewage against the subfloor. Pulling them out early gives mold less to grow on and cuts the germs sitting in the house.

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

   Wet drywall is cut out above the wet line, often well past the visible stain. The studs behind it stay and get cleaned.

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.
