How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Locust Hill
Mold needs moisture, something to feed on and a little time. A sewage backup supplies all three in one afternoon. Call Sewer Backup Cleanup Team now, and a crew can start taking them away.
-
Extract the sewage
Standing sewage is the first thing to go. The extraction specialist picks a pump for the depth and a wand tool for carpet and tight corners, and keeps going until the floor stops giving up liquid.
-
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
Cabinet bases, particleboard and soaked trim often go too. These materials swell and hold contamination, and the technician explains each choice.
-
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.

Hard, nonporous pieces may be sanitized. Upholstered or soft items that soaked up sewage are usually discarded after they are photographed. The technician explains each one.
Should I shut off the power after a backup in Locust Hill?
