How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Lakewood

Humidity keeps climbing in a basement or crawl space after a backup. Once it passes about 60 percent, mold spores find the damp they need. Dehumidifiers pull that moisture back down while the readings are tracked.

1. Extract the sewage

   Floor drains and sumps get checked before the pump-out ends. The technician makes sure nothing is still flowing back and passes the note along to the plumber.

2. Map where it traveled

   Baseboards, door casings and cabinet toe-kicks are checked first, since sewage wicks upward there. The numbers tell the crew how high the cut needs to go.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Hauling contaminated materials out takes planning. The crew keeps bags sealed and moves them along a protected path, so nothing drips across clean floors.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   Daily visits bring a moisture meter and a notebook. Readings are compared with the dry goal, and equipment is moved or added when a number stalls.
