How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Atlas
Drywall wicks sewage up the wall and stays damp inside. The longer it sits, the more likely mold becomes a problem behind the paint.
-
Pump out the standing sewage
The crew suits up in boots, gloves, a respirator and coveralls before anyone steps into the wet area. Submersible pumps and extractors start moving the standing sewage out.
-
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
The crew handles the loading and disposal of the bags. The homeowner does not carry sewage-soaked materials out alone.
-
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.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Cold basements slow drying. The crew uses LGR dehumidifiers and heat to keep moisture readings moving down in winter.
