How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Ohkay Owingeh
Cleaning the surface is not enough. Germs and moisture sit inside porous materials, so the crew removes those first and then sanitizes what stays. Drying to a measured goal is what keeps mold from getting a start.
-
Extract the sewage
Floor drains and sumps get checked before the pump-out ends. The technician makes sure nothing is still flowing back and passes the note along to the plumber.
-
Map where it traveled
Mapping decides what stays and what goes. Readings from an untouched room give the technician a dry goal to measure against.
-
Cut out what it soaked
Belongings get sorted by what they are made of. Hard, nonporous items can often be sanitized, while soft items that soaked up sewage are discarded after they are photographed.
-
Sanitize, dry and check
The job is done when the readings reach the goal, not when a surface feels dry. The final log goes into the file, and the equipment comes out.
