How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Geddes
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.
-
Pump out the standing sewage
The crew suits up in boots, gloves, a respirator and coveralls before anyone steps into the wet area. Submersible pumps and extractors start moving the standing sewage out.
-
Map where the sewage went
Photos go into the claim file before anything moves. The crew records each room, each drain and each damaged material.
-
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
Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.

Original plaster and lath walls hold moisture longer than modern drywall. The crew measures them carefully before calling them dry.
Roof vents can frost over in hard winters. A frosted vent makes drains slow and gurgle, and a plumber checks it. A homeowner decides how fast removal starts and signs the work order. That also means the owner checks the policy for sewer and drain backup coverage.
