How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Presque Isle

Wet carpet pad and drywall act like sponges. They hold contaminated water against the floor and the studs long after the puddle is gone. Removing them early keeps germs and mold from settling in.

1. Extract the sewage

   Standing sewage is the first thing to go. The extraction specialist picks a pump for the depth and a wand tool for carpet and tight corners, and keeps going until the floor stops giving up liquid.

2. Map where it traveled

   Photos go with the map. Dated pictures of the source, the water line and the damaged belongings give an insurer a clear starting record.

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

   HEPA air filtration runs during the work to catch airborne dust. After sanitizing, the crew sets the drying equipment and leaves it running.
