How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in East Lynn

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet building materials. Sewage adds food for it, and a warm basement makes things worse. The best defense is a quick pump-out and fast drying.

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

   Photos go with the map. Dated pictures of the source, the water line and the damaged belongings give an insurer a clear starting record.

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

   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.
