How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Pickens
A musty smell after a backup points to hidden moisture. Call early, because that smell usually comes from material that needs to be cut out.
-
Pump out the standing sewage
Hoses carry the sewage to a proper disposal point. It never goes to a storm drain, a yard or a neighbor's property.
-
Map where the sewage went
Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.
-
Cut out and haul away what soaked
Baseboards, particleboard cabinets and padded furniture soaked in sewage usually cannot be saved. The crew lists each item for the claim before bagging it.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
A final walkthrough checks the cleaned surfaces and the readings. The crew hands over its photos, lists and logs for the insurance claim.
