How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in South Bound Brook

A sour smell after a backup is a clue that something is still wet or still contaminated. The odor does not leave until the source materials come out and the area is dry. Air fresheners only cover it up.

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

   Sewage rarely stays where it came in. The crew checks the base of every wall near the affected rooms and records the readings for the job file.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Belongings get sorted by what they are made of. Hard, nonporous items can often be sanitized, while soft items that soaked up sewage are discarded after they are photographed.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   Rebuild work waits for the dry readings. Once the structure passes, the homeowner can get drywall, paint and flooring quoted with confidence.
