How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Altha

Daily moisture readings show when wood and concrete have dried enough. The crew does not call a room finished on feel alone.

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

   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.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Insulation that touched sewage cannot be dried and reused. It goes into heavy bags and out of the house.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   Odor control follows the cleaning. A smell that lingers often means a wet spot remains, so the crew looks again instead of masking it.
