How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Thermal
Cleaning the surface is not enough. Germs and moisture sit inside porous materials, so the crew removes those first and then sanitizes what stays. Drying to a measured goal is what keeps mold from getting a start.
-
Extract the sewage
Floor drains and sumps get checked before the pump-out ends. The technician makes sure nothing is still flowing back and passes the note along to the plumber.
-
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
Drywall is cut above the water line, usually a little higher to catch wicking. The crew removes the wet section, bags it and leaves clean framing exposed to dry.
-
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.
