How Sewage Backup Removal Works in North Apollo
Drywall wicks sewage up the wall and stays damp inside. The longer it sits, the more likely mold becomes a problem behind the paint.
-
Pump out the standing sewage
The crew checks the electrical situation before powered equipment goes in. Wet outlets and cords stay off until a qualified person has looked at them.
-
Map where the sewage went
Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.
-
Cut out and haul away what soaked
Carpet and pad come up first, cut into manageable strips and double-bagged. They leave through a protected path, not across clean floors.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.
