How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Somers
Carpet and pad hold sewage against the subfloor. Pulling them out early gives mold less to grow on and cuts the germs sitting in the house.
-
Pump out the standing sewage
The crew checks the electrical situation before powered equipment goes in. Wet outlets and cords stay off until a qualified person has looked at them.
-
Map where the sewage went
The crew tests the crawl space or subfloor when sewage may have run beneath the finished floor. Insulation under a floor soaks it up like a sponge.
-
Cut out and haul away what soaked
Insulation that touched sewage cannot be dried and reused. It goes into heavy bags and out of the house.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
HEPA air scrubbers can run during tear-out and cleaning to catch particles in the air. Containment helps keep the work area separate from the rest of the house.

Sewage Backup Removal Questions in Somers
What gets cleaned and what gets thrown out after sewage in Somers?
Porous items such as carpet, pad, insulation and wet drywall usually go. Concrete, tile, metal and sealed wood can often be cleaned and kept.
Does heavy rain cause sewage backups in Somers, IA?
It can. Rain can overload the sewer main, and the lowest drains in houses take the backflow. If your basement drain gurgles during a storm, call a plumber.
Will insurance cover a sewage backup in Somers, IA?
Many standard policies leave out sewer and drain backup unless an endorsement was added. Coverage depends on the policy, so check with your own insurer.
What happens to carpet after sewage in a Somers basement?
It comes out. Carpet and pad hold sewage that washing cannot remove, so the crew cuts them into strips, bags them and carries them away.
Does the crew sanitize after the sewage is out in Somers?
Yes. Hard surfaces are scrubbed and treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant, then dried with LGR dehumidifiers and air movers.
Do not mop it. Ring Sewage Backup Removal Pros on (888) 578-6508, and a crew in protective gear removes the sewage from your Somers home.
