How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Bunker Hill

A musty smell after a backup points to hidden moisture. Call early, because that smell usually comes from material that needs to be cut out.

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 technician marks the wet line on every wall and notes what each room is made of. That map decides what comes out.

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

   Odor control follows the cleaning. A smell that lingers often means a wet spot remains, so the crew looks again instead of masking it.
