How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in El Paso

Sewage carries bacteria and viruses that do not need days to cause trouble. Contact with skin, a cut or a hand-to-mouth moment can spread illness. That is why the crew wears gloves, boots, eye protection and a respirator.

  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

    Belongings get sorted by what they are made of. Hard, nonporous items can often be sanitized, while soft items that soaked up sewage are discarded after they are photographed.

  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.

Heavy snow loads and deep frost can shift old clay pipe. Cracks that formed in winter often show up as backups in spring. Owners have the most at stake, because the sewage damaged their own floors and walls. Starting the cleanup quickly protects the value of the home. Photos and lists keep the paperwork simple.

Sewer Backup Cleanup Questions in El Paso

What is Category 3 water in El Paso?

It is the most contaminated class of water under IICRC S500, the industry drying standard. Sewage is always Category 3, which means protective gear, removal of porous materials and sanitizing.

How soon can a crew start in El Paso?

Dispatch runs 24/7 and sewage is treated as urgent. How soon a crew arrives depends on the address, the weather and how many calls are coming in. Call (888) 774-9605 and describe what you see.

Can heavy rain cause a sewage backup in El Paso?

Yes. Storm water can overload sewers and push the flow back into low drains. Basements and floor drains are usually the first places it shows.

Who do I call if the whole street in El Paso is backed up?

Call the sewer authority or the public works office so they can check the main. Call a cleanup crew for the sewage in your house too, since the crew does not have to wait on the city.

Can I clean up sewage myself in El Paso?

A small spill on a hard floor can be handled with gloves, boots and a disinfectant. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or a basement should go to a crew, because sewage carries bacteria and soaks into materials a mop cannot reach.

Backed-up drains need a plumber, and soaked floors need a cleanup crew. For the crew in El Paso, call (888) 774-9605 now.
