How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Cambridge
A fan pointed at sewage pushes germs through the air and does not make the room safe. Drying comes after the sewage and the soaked materials are out.
-
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.
-
Map where the sewage went
Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.
-
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.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
A final walkthrough checks the cleaned surfaces and the readings. The crew hands over its photos, lists and logs for the insurance claim.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Census figures for the 1 ZIP code near Cambridge count 9,667 housing units and about 19,728 residents, and any one of those homes can back up. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Cambridge was built in the 1960s. Slab and crawl space homes of the period run drain pipe under the floor. A break there can send sewage into the subfloor and insulation.
Long freezes in this area put stress on buried sewer pipe. A winter that cracks a pipe may only show up as a backup in spring. With owners in most homes, neighbors often compare notes. If several homes have slow drains, the city sewer department should hear about it.
