How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Elliott

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

   Protective gear goes on before anyone steps in. The technician pumps from the deepest spot first, then works toward the edges so sewage is not tracked into clean rooms.

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

   Drywall is cut above the water line, usually a little higher to catch wicking. The crew removes the wet section, bags it and leaves clean framing exposed to dry.

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.
