How City Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Kraemer
-
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.
-
Map where it traveled
A moisture meter and a thermal camera show how far the sewage went. The technician marks wet spots on a floor plan and follows the water into walls, under cabinets and across the slab.
-
Cut out what it soaked
Hauling contaminated materials out takes planning. The crew keeps bags sealed and moves them along a protected path, so nothing drips across clean floors.
-
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.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Dry-looking drywall can still hold water inside. Growth can start behind a wall where nobody sees it, and it is hard to catch early. A moisture meter and a thermal camera show what the eye misses.
- Call the city or sewer utility and report the backup.
- Stop using water in the house until the main is cleared.
- Photograph the sewage, the damage and the street if it is flooded.
- Ask neighbors whether their drains backed up and note who.
- Keep receipts for hotels, disposal and cleaning supplies.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
