How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Columbus

Sewage carries bacteria and viruses that can make people sick. Skin contact, splashes and a drain that sprays as it flows are all ways it spreads.

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

   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.

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

About 55% of homes in the ZIP codes around Columbus date from before 1960, when clay and cast iron sewer pipe were common. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Columbus was built in the 1950s. Original plaster and lath walls hold moisture longer than modern drywall. The crew measures them carefully before calling them dry.

An occasional hard freeze can crack exposed drain pipe, and heavy rain in the same year can overload the sewer. Backups come from either one. Most homes here are owner-occupied, so the owner usually makes the calls to the plumber, the crew and the insurer. Keeping every report in one folder makes the claim easier.

What Does Sewage Backup Removal Cost in Columbus, KY?
