How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Lake City

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.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Low spots under shelves and behind stored boxes get pumped last, because that is where sewage hides. A second pass lifts what the first one missed.

2. 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.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Insulation that touched sewage cannot be dried and reused. It goes into heavy bags and out of the house.

4. 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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

About 25% of homes here predate 1960 and 19% date from 2000 on, so the crew sees old clay pipe and new plastic pipe in the same area.

A break there can send sewage into the subfloor and insulation.
