  Boxes, baseboards and low drywall near the drain wick sewage upward and are removed before drying begins.

How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Piasa

Closing the door on a wet basement does not stop mold. The crew pumps out the sewage, hauls away the soaked materials and dries the structure with LGR dehumidifiers.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   The crew checks the electrical situation before powered equipment goes in. Wet outlets and cords stay off until a qualified person has looked at them.

2. Map where the sewage went

   Thermal imaging picks out cool, wet areas behind drywall. The crew confirms each one with a meter before any cutting starts.

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

About 47% of homes in the ZIP codes around Piasa date from before 1960, when clay and cast iron sewer pipe were common. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Piasa was built in the 1970s. Ranch-style homes from these years have lots of floor area at drain level. One backup can reach several rooms.

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. Owners can ask the plumber to write down the cause of the backup. That report helps explain the loss to the adjuster.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

A plumber's report that names the cause, such as roots, grease or a collapsed pipe, helps explain the loss. Keep it with the crew's records, because an insurer reads the two together.

• Photograph the sewage and the drain before anything moves
• Ask whether the policy includes water backup coverage
• Keep the crew's daily moisture logs in the claim folder

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