How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Silverthorne
Time is the one thing a homeowner cannot buy back. Each hour sewage sits, it moves deeper into the subfloor and the framing. A call now means less to remove and less to dry.
-
Extract the sewage
The crew starts with the water. Submersible pumps and truck-mounted extraction pull sewage off the floor and out of the house, and the hose runs to a safe disposal point.
-
Map where it traveled
A moisture meter and a thermal camera show how far the sewage went. The technician marks wet spots on a floor plan and follows the water into walls, under cabinets and across the slab.
-
Cut out what it soaked
Carpet, pad and insulation that soaked up sewage are taken out and bagged. Under the drying standard, these porous materials cannot be cleaned to a safe level.
-
Sanitize, dry and check
Floors, slabs and framing are scrubbed and treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Then air movers and LGR dehumidifiers go in, placed by the size of the room and the materials in it.
