How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Center

A musty smell after a backup points to hidden moisture. Call early, because that smell usually comes from material that needs to be cut out.

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

   Photos go into the claim file before anything moves. The crew records each room, each drain and each damaged material.

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.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Flood insurance and homeowners insurance cover different events. Sewage that comes up a drain is usually a backup claim and not a flood claim. Ask your insurer which one applies to your loss.

• Read any claim release carefully before signing
• Keep the crew's list of materials removed

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
