How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Atlanta

Drywall wicks sewage up the wall and stays damp inside. The longer it sits, the more likely mold becomes a problem behind the paint.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   The crew suits up in boots, gloves, a respirator and coveralls before anyone steps into the wet area. Submersible pumps and extractors start moving the standing sewage out.

2. Map where the sewage went

   A moisture meter shows how far the sewage wicked into walls and subfloors. The reading often reaches past what the eye can see.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Carpet and pad come up first, cut into manageable strips and double-bagged. They leave through a protected path, not across clean floors.

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.
