How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Gardners

A musty smell after a backup points to hidden moisture. Call early, because that smell usually comes from material that needs to be cut out.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Plastic sheeting and sealed paths protect the dry rooms. Foot traffic through clean areas stays to a minimum.

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

   Carpet and pad come up first, cut into manageable strips and double-bagged. They leave through a protected path, not across clean floors.

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.
