How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Clarkston

Children, older adults, pregnant people and anyone with a weak immune system face more risk. They should stay away from the wet area, and a doctor can answer questions about symptoms.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   The crew suits up in boots, gloves, a respirator and coveralls before anyone steps into the wet area. Submersible pumps and extractors start moving the standing sewage out.

2. 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.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Baseboards, particleboard cabinets and padded furniture soaked in sewage usually cannot be saved. The crew lists each item for the claim before bagging it.

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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

The 19,308 homes in the 2 ZIP codes around Clarkston share sewer mains of many ages, and an older main can fail under a heavy load. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Clarkston was built in the 1980s. Many homes of this age have finished basements with a bathroom. A basement bathroom sits below the main and takes backflow first.

Cold basements slow drying. The crew uses LGR dehumidifiers and heat to keep moisture readings moving down in winter. With owners in most homes, neighbors often compare notes. If several homes have slow drains, the city sewer department should hear about it.
