How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Mount Carmel

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

    The crew starts with the water. Submersible pumps and truck-mounted extraction pull sewage off the floor and out of the house, and the hose runs to a safe disposal point.

  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

    Drying usually takes about three to five days after removal. Concrete, thick materials and long-sitting sewage can add days, and the technician adjusts the plan to match.

Most houses here are lived in by their owners, so the homeowners policy is the first thing to check. Look for a water backup endorsement and its limit. The agent can confirm it in minutes.
