How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Orr

A fan pointed at sewage pushes germs through the air and does not make the room safe. Drying comes after the sewage and the soaked materials are out.

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

   Thermal imaging picks out cool, wet areas behind drywall. The crew confirms each one with a meter before any cutting starts.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Wet drywall is cut out above the wet line, often well past the visible stain. The studs behind it stay and get cleaned.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   HEPA air scrubbers can run during tear-out and cleaning to catch particles in the air. Containment helps keep the work area separate from the rest of the house.
