How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Montrose

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.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Low spots under shelves and behind stored boxes get pumped last, because that is where sewage hides. A second pass lifts what the first one missed.

2. 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.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Hard items such as tile, metal and sealed wood are cleaned and kept when they can be. The crew sorts as it goes.

4. 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.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

A plumber's report that names the cause, such as roots, grease or a collapsed pipe, helps explain the loss. Keep it with the crew's records, because an insurer reads the two together.

• List ruined belongings room by room with a rough value
• Keep the crew's daily moisture logs in the claim folder
• Write down who you spoke to and when

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
