How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Bellona
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet building materials. Sewage adds food for it, and a warm basement makes things worse. The best defense is a quick pump-out and fast drying.
-
Extract the sewage
Speed matters in this step because every hour pushes more sewage into the floor. Crews in Bellona pump first and seal off the work area so the spread stops.
-
Map where it traveled
Hidden moisture shows on the thermal camera as cooler patches. The technician confirms each one with a meter before marking a wall for removal, so only wet material gets cut.
-
Cut out what it soaked
Only what is wet or contaminated comes out, and the technician logs every item. That list is the record an adjuster sees later.
-
Sanitize, dry and check
Floors, slabs and framing are scrubbed and treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Then air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go in, placed by the size of the room and the materials in it.
