How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Cicero

Carpet and pad hold sewage against the subfloor. Pulling them out early gives mold less to grow on and cuts the germs sitting in the house.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Low spots under shelves and behind stored boxes get pumped last, because that is where sewage hides. A second pass lifts what the first one missed.

2. Map where the sewage went

   A moisture meter shows how far the sewage wicked into walls and subfloors. The reading often reaches past what the eye can see.

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

   Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

About 84% of homes here predate 1960 and 1% 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 Cicero was built in the years before 1940. Original plaster and lath walls hold moisture longer than modern drywall. The crew measures them carefully before calling them dry.

Frozen ground holds snowmelt on top, and the extra water flows into storm and sewer systems. A main that fills can back up through basement drains. Tenants photograph their own wet belongings and tell the landlord in writing. The landlord's insurer and the renter's insurer each cover different things, depending on the policies.
