How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Lattimer Mines

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

   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

   Photos go into the claim file before anything moves. The crew records each room, each drain and each damaged material.

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

   LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, sized to the room. Wet framing and subfloor give up their moisture faster in a controlled space.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Roughly 0% of homes in these ZIP codes were built in 2000 or later, and most of those have plastic drain pipe. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Lattimer Mines was built in the years before 1940. Older basements often have a single floor drain tied right into the main. When the main backs up, that drain is the first place sewage appears.

Long freezes in this area put stress on buried sewer pipe. A winter that cracks a pipe may only show up as a backup in spring. A rented unit's sewage backup can reach neighbors through shared walls or drains. The manager should check the units next to it.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Photos taken before removal carry weight with an adjuster. The crew photographs the sewage, the drain and each material that gets hauled away, and the homeowner keeps copies.

• Keep the plumber's written findings
• Ask the adjuster which items it wants to see first
• Keep the crew's list of materials removed

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
