How Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Smelterville

A sour smell after a backup is a clue that something is still wet or still contaminated. The odor does not leave until the source materials come out and the area is dry. Air fresheners only cover it up.

1. Extract the sewage

   Speed matters in this step because every hour pushes more sewage into the floor. Crews in Smelterville pump first and seal off the work area so the spread stops.

2. Map where it traveled

   Baseboards, door casings and cabinet toe-kicks are checked first, since sewage wicks upward there. The numbers tell the crew how high the cut needs to go.

3. Cut out what it soaked

   Belongings get sorted by what they are made of. Hard, nonporous items can often be sanitized, while soft items that soaked up sewage are discarded after they are photographed.

4. Sanitize, dry and check

   The job is done when the readings reach the goal, not when a surface feels dry. The final log goes into the file, and the equipment comes out.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Housing near Smelterville spans 470 homes in 1 ZIP code, and close to 81% of them predate 1980. Roots, grease and aging pipe all play a part in local backups. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Smelterville was built in the 1940s. Pre-1960 houses commonly have basements with floor drains tied right into the sewer. That drain is the first place sewage rises when the main plugs. Belongings stored on the floor take the hit.

Hard winters push frost deep into the ground around Smelterville. Frost can lift, drop and bend sewer pipe, and the joints that shift let soil and roots in.
