With sewage backup, contaminated water can spread across the basement and soak porous contents. Moisture may remain in carpet, drywall, stored goods and floor joints.

How Sewage Backup Flood Cleanup Works in Balm
-
Remove standing water
Basement water is pumped out before detailed material checks. Deep pooling may hide wet contents below the surface.
-
Map moisture
Subfloor seams and cabinet bases receive close moisture checks. Kitchen and bath finishes can conceal wet backing.
-
Remove soaked material
Soaked insulation is removed where it blocks proper drying. Exposed studs can then receive air movement.
-
Dry and verify
Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A shutoff valve stops a pipe leak, but it does not dry the house. Extraction and dehumidification handle the moisture already indoors. Water may be held between finish and subfloor.
- Keep people and pets out of the affected area.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
- Call Flood Cleanup Response Team at (888) 471-9821, 24/7, and describe the sewage backup water.
