How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Slater

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

   Speed matters in this step because every hour pushes more sewage into the floor. Crews in Slater pump first and seal off the work area so the spread stops.

2. Map where it traveled

   Mapping decides what stays and what goes. Readings from an untouched room give the technician a dry goal to measure against.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Carpet, pad and insulation that soaked up sewage are taken out and bagged. Under the drying standard, these porous materials cannot be cleaned to a safe level.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   HEPA air filtration runs during the work to catch airborne dust. After sanitizing, the crew sets the drying equipment and leaves it running.
