How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Hunker
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.
-
Pump out the standing sewage
Plastic sheeting and sealed paths protect the dry rooms. Foot traffic through clean areas stays to a minimum.
-
Map where the sewage went
Photos go into the claim file before anything moves. The crew records each room, each drain and each damaged material.
-
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.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, sized to the room. Wet framing and subfloor give up their moisture faster in a controlled space.
