How Sewage Smell After Backup Cleanup Works in Nettie

1. Remove standing wastewater

   Technicians clear pooled sewage from the visible spill area. The technician records the first visible boundary before material moves.

2. Trace wet layers

   Subfloor checks show whether the puddle soaked deeper layers. Baseboards can cover drywall that wicked sewage upward.

3. Remove contaminated material

   Sewage soaked pad comes out so the substrate can be cleaned. Removing pad exposes the subfloor for cleaning.

4. Dry and record

• Stop using drains and fixtures that feed the backup.
• Stay clear of outlets, cords and appliances near standing water.
• Photograph the scene from a safe position before material is moved.
• Call a plumber for the obstruction and call the cleanup crew for the water damage.
