How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Madison
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
The crew checks the electrical situation before powered equipment goes in. Wet outlets and cords stay off until a qualified person has looked at them.
-
Map where the sewage went
A moisture meter shows how far the sewage wicked into walls and subfloors. The reading often reaches past what the eye can see.
-
Cut out and haul away what soaked
The crew handles the loading and disposal of the bags. The homeowner does not carry sewage-soaked materials out alone.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 57% of homes in the ZIP codes around Madison date from before 1960, when clay and cast iron sewer pipe were common. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Madison was built in the 1940s. Additions and remodels in older houses often tie new plumbing into old pipe. The joint between the two is a common trouble spot.
Drying time changes with the season. Humid summer air slows evaporation, and cold air slows it too, so the crew adjusts the equipment. Owner-occupied homes tend to have more finished space and more belongings in the basement. The crew lists what is removed so the insurer sees the full picture.
