How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Oakhurst

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.

1. Extract the sewage

   Standing sewage is the first thing to go. The extraction specialist picks a pump for the depth and a wand tool for carpet and tight corners, and keeps going until the floor stops giving up liquid.

2. 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.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Drywall is cut above the water line, usually a little higher to catch wicking. The crew removes the wet section, bags it and leaves clean framing exposed to dry.

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.
