How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Alger
Drywall wicks sewage up the wall and stays damp inside. The longer it sits, the more likely mold becomes a problem behind the paint.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Cut out and haul away what soaked
Hard items such as tile, metal and sealed wood are cleaned and kept when they can be. The crew sorts as it goes.
-
Sanitize, dry and verify
HEPA air scrubbers can run during tear-out and cleaning to catch particles in the air. Containment helps keep the work area separate from the rest of the house.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Alger was built in the 1970s. Roots love the joints in old clay pipe from this era. A tree planted near the sewer pipe decades ago can now be the cause.
Garages and unheated crawl spaces hold sewage that can freeze and thaw. A thaw can reveal a backup that happened during the cold. With owners in most homes, neighbors often compare notes. If several homes have slow drains, the city sewer department should hear about it.
