How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Bear

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. Sewage adds bacteria on top of that, so speed matters twice.

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

   The technician marks the wet line on every wall and notes what each room is made of. That map decides what comes out.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Wet drywall is cut out above the wet line, often well past the visible stain. The studs behind it stay and get cleaned.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   A final walkthrough checks the cleaned surfaces and the readings. The crew hands over its photos, lists and logs for the insurance claim.
