How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Solomons
Dry-looking drywall can still hold water inside. Growth can start behind a wall where nobody sees it, and it is hard to catch early. A moisture meter and a thermal camera show what the eye misses.
-
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.
-
Map where it traveled
Mapping decides what stays and what goes. Readings from an untouched room give the technician a dry goal to measure against.
-
Cut out what it soaked
Drywall is cut above the water line, usually a little higher to catch wicking. The crew removes the wet section, bags it and leaves clean framing exposed to dry.
-
Sanitize, dry and check
Daily visits bring a moisture meter and a notebook. Readings are compared with the dry goal, and equipment is moved or added when a number stalls.
