How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Friendship

Drywall wicks sewage up the wall and stays damp inside. The longer it sits, the more likely mold becomes a problem behind the paint.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Hoses carry the sewage to a proper disposal point. It never goes to a storm drain, a yard or a neighbor's property.

2. Map where the sewage went

   Thermal imaging picks out cool, wet areas behind drywall. The crew confirms each one with a meter before any cutting starts.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Carpet and pad come up first, cut into manageable strips and double-bagged. They leave through a protected path, not across clean floors.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   Odor control follows the cleaning. A smell that lingers often means a wet spot remains, so the crew looks again instead of masking it.
