How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Ambia
Sewage carries bacteria and viruses that can make people sick. Skin contact, splashes and a drain that sprays as it flows are all ways it spreads.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
The technician returns to take daily moisture readings and moves equipment as walls dry. The job ends when the readings reach the dry goal, not before.
