How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Middle Granville

Humidity keeps climbing in a basement or crawl space after a backup. Once it passes about 60 percent, mold spores find the damp they need. Dehumidifiers pull that moisture back down while the readings are tracked.

1. 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.

2. Map where it traveled

   Sewage rarely stays where it came in. The crew checks the base of every wall near the affected rooms and records the readings for the job file.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Drywall is cut above the water line, usually a little higher to catch wicking. The crew removes the wet section, bags it and leaves clean framing exposed to dry.

4. 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.
