How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Stopover

Children, older adults, pregnant people and anyone with a weak immune system face more risk. They should stay away from the wet area, and a doctor can answer questions about symptoms.

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

   Insulation that touched sewage cannot be dried and reused. It goes into heavy bags and out of the house.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   The technician returns to take daily moisture readings and moves equipment as walls dry. The job ends when the readings reach the dry goal, not before.
