How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Lehigh

Daily moisture readings show when wood and concrete have dried enough. The crew does not call a room finished on feel alone.

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

   Insulation that touched sewage cannot be dried and reused. It goes into heavy bags and out of the house.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   HEPA air scrubbers can run during tear-out and cleaning to catch particles in the air. Containment helps keep the work area separate from the rest of the house.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

About 53% of homes here predate 1960 and 8% date from 2000 on, so the crew sees old clay pipe and new plastic pipe in the same area. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Lehigh was built in the 1940s. Additions and remodels in older houses often tie new plumbing into old pipe. The joint between the two is a common trouble spot.

Heavy summer thunderstorms can send a surge through an aging sewer. The first sign may be a gurgling basement drain. With owners in most homes, neighbors often compare notes. If several homes have slow drains, the city sewer department should hear about it.
