How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Seymour
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.

Pump out the standing sewage
Truck-mounted equipment handles big volumes, and portable extractors reach basements with tight stairs. The crew picks the tool that fits the house.
-
Map where the sewage went

Sanitize, dry and verify

Sewage Backup Removal Questions in Seymour
Does heavy rain cause sewage backups in Seymour, IA?
It can. Rain can overload the sewer main, and the lowest drains in houses take the backflow. If your basement drain gurgles during a storm, call a plumber.
What gets cleaned and what gets thrown out after sewage in Seymour?
Porous items such as carpet, pad, insulation and wet drywall usually go. Concrete, tile, metal and sealed wood can often be cleaned and kept.
What happens to carpet after sewage in a Seymour basement?
It comes out. Carpet and pad hold sewage that washing cannot remove, so the crew cuts them into strips, bags them and carries them away.
Does the crew sanitize after the sewage is out in Seymour?
Yes. Hard surfaces are scrubbed and treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant, then dried with LGR dehumidifiers and air movers.
How soon should I call about sewage in Seymour?
Right away. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, and sewage soaks deeper the longer it sits.
Stay out of the wet area and phone (888) 578-6508. Seymour crews pump, tear out and sanitize.
