How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Pelzer

Wet carpet pad and drywall act like sponges. They hold contaminated water against the floor and the studs long after the puddle is gone. Removing them early keeps germs and mold from settling in.

1. Extract the sewage

   Floor drains and sumps get checked before the pump-out ends. The technician makes sure nothing is still flowing back and passes the note along to the plumber.

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.
