How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Bladensburg

Mold needs moisture, something to feed on and a little time. A sewage backup supplies all three in one afternoon. Call Sewer Backup Cleanup Team now, and a crew can start taking them away.

  1. Extract the sewage

    The crew starts with the water. Submersible pumps and truck-mounted extraction pull sewage off the floor and out of the house, and the hose runs to a safe disposal point.

  2. Map where it traveled

    Baseboards, door casings and cabinet toe-kicks are checked first, since sewage wicks upward there. The numbers tell the crew how high the cut needs to go.

  3. Cut out what it soaked

    Carpet, pad and insulation that soaked up sewage are taken out and bagged. Under the drying standard, these porous materials cannot be cleaned to a safe level.

  4. Sanitize, dry and check

    HEPA air filtration runs during the work to catch airborne dust. After sanitizing, the crew sets the drying equipment and leaves it running.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Out of about 9,764 residents near Bladensburg, roughly 18% live in owner-occupied homes. The rest rent, and a landlord and a tenant each have a part in the cleanup. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Bladensburg was built in the 1960s. Clay and cast iron were still common in the 1960s and 1970s, with plastic pipe arriving late in the period. A mix of materials means joints between different pipes. Those joints catch roots and debris.

Storms followed by dry spells leave silt in sewer pipes. The next storm stirs it up and sends it toward a bend where it plugs. In apartment buildings and condos, sewage from a plugged stack can reach several units. The crew checks neighboring and lower units with permission. Water moves between floors through walls and ceilings.
