How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Fowler

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

   Extraction removes most of the contaminated water, but not all of it. What the pump leaves in carpet, pad and cracks is picked up with weighted extractors, and the rest is handled in later steps.

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

   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.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   The job is done when the readings reach the goal, not when a surface feels dry. The final log goes into the file, and the equipment comes out.
