How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Westerville

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

   The technician marks the wet line on every wall and notes what each room is made of. That map decides what comes out.

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

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