How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Wallkill

A sour smell after a backup is a clue that something is still wet or still contaminated. The odor does not leave until the source materials come out and the area is dry. Air fresheners only cover it up.

1. Extract the sewage

   Speed matters in this step because every hour pushes more sewage into the floor. Crews in Wallkill pump first and seal off the work area so the spread stops.

2. 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.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Carpet, pad and insulation that soaked up sewage are taken out and bagged. Under the drying standard, these porous materials cannot be cleaned to a safe level.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   Daily visits bring a moisture meter and a notebook. Readings are compared with the dry goal, and equipment is moved or added when a number stalls.
