How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Humphrey

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Sewage adds bacteria on top of that, so speed matters twice.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, sized to the room. Wet framing and subfloor give up their moisture faster in a controlled space.
