How Main Sewer Line Backup Cleanup Works in Coarsegold
-
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
A moisture meter and a thermal camera show how far the sewage went. The technician marks wet spots on a floor plan and follows the water into walls, under cabinets and across the slab.
-
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.
-
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.
