How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Kirk

Drywall wicks sewage up the wall and stays damp inside. The longer it sits, the more likely mold becomes a problem behind the paint.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Low spots under shelves and behind stored boxes get pumped last, because that is where sewage hides. A second pass lifts what the first one missed.

2. Map where the sewage went

   The crew tests the crawl space or subfloor when sewage may have run beneath the finished floor. Insulation under a floor soaks it up like a sponge.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   The crew handles the loading and disposal of the bags. The homeowner does not carry sewage-soaked materials out alone.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   The technician returns to take daily moisture readings and moves equipment as walls dry. The job ends when the readings reach the dry goal, not before.
