How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Iowa

Time is the one thing a homeowner cannot buy back. Each hour sewage sits, it moves deeper into the subfloor and the framing. A call now means less to remove and less to dry.

1. Extract the sewage

   The crew starts with the water. Submersible pumps and truck-mounted extraction pull sewage off the floor and out of the house, and the hose runs to a safe disposal point.

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

   Carpet, pad and insulation that soaked up sewage are taken out and bagged. Under the drying standard, these porous materials cannot be cleaned to a safe level.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   HEPA air filtration runs during the work to catch airborne dust. After sanitizing, the crew sets the drying equipment and leaves it running.
