How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Atwater

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

    Protective gear goes on before anyone steps in. The technician pumps from the deepest spot first, then works toward the edges so sewage is not tracked into clean rooms.

  2. Map where it traveled

    Baseboards, door casings and cabinet toe-kicks are checked first, since sewage wicks upward there. The numbers tell the crew how high the cut needs to go.

  3. Cut out what it soaked

    Belongings get sorted by what they are made of. Hard, nonporous items can often be sanitized, while soft items that soaked up sewage are discarded after they are photographed.

  4. Sanitize, dry and check

    HEPA air filtration runs during the work to catch airborne dust. After sanitizing, the crew sets the drying equipment and leaves it running.
