How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Stone

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

   Protective gear goes on before anyone steps in. The technician pumps from the deepest spot first, then works toward the edges so sewage is not tracked into clean rooms.

2. Map where it traveled

   Baseboards, door casings and cabinet toe-kicks are checked first, since sewage wicks upward there. The numbers tell the crew how high the cut needs to go.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Belongings get sorted by what they are made of. Hard, nonporous items can often be sanitized, while soft items that soaked up sewage are discarded after they are photographed.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   Rebuild work waits for the dry readings. Once the structure passes, the homeowner can get drywall, paint and flooring quoted with confidence.
