How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Cumberland

A fan pointed at sewage pushes germs through the air and does not make the room safe. Drying comes after the sewage and the soaked materials are out.

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

   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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Census figures for the 1 ZIP code near Cumberland count 760 housing units and about 1,837 residents, and any one of those homes can back up. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Cumberland was built in the 1970s. Ranch-style homes from these years have lots of floor area at drain level. One backup can reach several rooms.

Cold basements slow drying. The crew uses LGR dehumidifiers and heat to keep moisture readings moving down in winter. A homeowner who rebuilds a basement after a backup may add a backwater valve. A plumber can say whether one fits the house.
