How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Livermore Falls
Closing the door on a wet basement does not stop mold. The crew pumps out the sewage, hauls away the soaked materials and dries the structure with LGR dehumidifiers.
-
Pump out the standing sewage
Hoses carry the sewage to a proper disposal point. It never goes to a storm drain, a yard or a neighbor's property.
-
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
Wet drywall is cut out above the wet line, often well past the visible stain. The studs behind it stay and get cleaned.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.
