How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Colton
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.
-
Extract the sewage
The crew starts with the water. Submersible pumps and truck-mounted extraction pull sewage off the floor and out of the house, and the hose runs to a safe disposal point.
-
Map where it traveled
Sewage rarely stays where it came in. The crew checks the base of every wall near the affected rooms and records the readings for the job file.
-
Cut out what it soaked
Only what is wet or contaminated comes out, and the technician logs every item. That list is the record an adjuster sees later.
-
Sanitize, dry and check
Floors, slabs and framing are scrubbed and treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Then air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go in, placed by the size of the room and the materials in it.
