How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Banner Elk

Carpet and pad hold sewage against the subfloor. Pulling them out early gives mold less to grow on and cuts the germs sitting in the house.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   The crew checks the electrical situation before powered equipment goes in. Wet outlets and cords stay off until a qualified person has looked at them.

2. Map where the sewage went

   The technician marks the wet line on every wall and notes what each room is made of. That map decides what comes out.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Baseboards, particleboard cabinets and padded furniture soaked in sewage usually cannot be saved. The crew lists each item for the claim before bagging it.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, sized to the room. Wet framing and subfloor give up their moisture faster in a controlled space.
