How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Forreston
Carpet and pad hold sewage against the subfloor. Pulling them out early gives mold less to grow on and cuts the germs sitting in the house.

Pump out the standing sewage
The crew checks the electrical situation before powered equipment goes in. Wet outlets and cords stay off until a qualified person has looked at them.
-
Map where the sewage went
Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.
-
Cut out and haul away what soaked

Sanitize, dry and verify
