How City Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Ardsley On Hudson
-
Extract the sewage
The crew starts with the water. Submersible pumps and truck-mounted extraction pull sewage off the floor and out of the house, and the hose runs to a safe disposal point.
-
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.
-
Cut out what it soaked
Hauling contaminated materials out takes planning. The crew keeps bags sealed and moves them along a protected path, so nothing drips across clean floors.
-
Sanitize, dry and check
The job is done when the readings reach the goal, not when a surface feels dry. The final log goes into the file, and the equipment comes out.

- Stop using water in the house until the main is cleared.
