How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Saxis

A musty smell after a backup points to hidden moisture. Call early, because that smell usually comes from material that needs to be cut out.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Truck-mounted equipment handles big volumes, and portable extractors reach basements with tight stairs. The crew picks the tool that fits the house.

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

   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

   LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, sized to the room. Wet framing and subfloor give up their moisture faster in a controlled space.

Roots grow through the warm months and pipes shift in the cold ones. The two together weaken joints year after year. With owners in most homes, neighbors often compare notes. If several homes have slow drains, the city sewer department should hear about it.

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.

• Keep the crew's daily moisture logs in the claim folder
• Photograph the outdoor cleanout if it overflowed
• Save every receipt for hotels, supplies and removal

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