How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Stonington

Sewage carries bacteria and viruses that can make people sick. Skin contact, splashes and a drain that sprays as it flows are all ways it spreads.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Truck-mounted equipment handles big volumes, and portable extractors reach basements with tight stairs. The crew picks the tool that fits the house.

2. Map where the sewage went

   Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   The crew handles the loading and disposal of the bags. The homeowner does not carry sewage-soaked materials out alone.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, sized to the room. Wet framing and subfloor give up their moisture faster in a controlled space.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

About 57% of homes in the ZIP codes around Stonington date from before 1960, when clay and cast iron sewer pipe were common. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Stonington was built in the 1950s. Wide, deep basements in older homes hold a lot of sewage. Pumping them takes several passes.

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.
