How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Sherrill
Drywall wicks sewage up the wall and stays damp inside. The longer it sits, the more likely mold becomes a problem behind the paint.
-
Pump out the standing sewage
Truck-mounted equipment handles big volumes, and portable extractors reach basements with tight stairs. The crew picks the tool that fits the house.
-
Map where the sewage went
Thermal imaging picks out cool, wet areas behind drywall. The crew confirms each one with a meter before any cutting starts.
-
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.
