How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Riggins

Closing the door on a wet basement does not stop mold. The crew pumps out the sewage, hauls away the soaked materials and dries the structure with LGR dehumidifiers.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Plastic sheeting and sealed paths protect the dry rooms. Foot traffic through clean areas stays to a minimum.

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

   Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.
