How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Findlay
A musty smell after a backup points to hidden moisture. Call early, because that smell usually comes from material that needs to be cut out.
-
Pump out the standing sewage
The crew suits up in boots, gloves, a respirator and coveralls before anyone steps into the wet area. Submersible pumps and extractors start moving the standing sewage out.
-
Map where the sewage went
Thermal imaging picks out cool, wet areas behind drywall. The crew confirms each one with a meter before any cutting starts.
-
Cut out and haul away what soaked
Hard items such as tile, metal and sealed wood are cleaned and kept when they can be. The crew sorts as it goes.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
HEPA air scrubbers can run during tear-out and cleaning to catch particles in the air. Containment helps keep the work area separate from the rest of the house.
