How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Smilax
Sewage carries bacteria and viruses that can make people sick. Skin contact, splashes and a drain that sprays as it flows are all ways it spreads.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, sized to the room. Wet framing and subfloor give up their moisture faster in a controlled space.
