How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Allentown

Carpet and pad hold sewage against the subfloor. Pulling them out early gives mold less to grow on and cuts the germs sitting in the house.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Plastic sheeting and sealed paths protect the dry rooms. Foot traffic through clean areas stays to a minimum.

2. Map where the sewage went

   The technician marks the wet line on every wall and notes what each room is made of. That map decides what comes out.

3. 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.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   The technician returns to take daily moisture readings and moves equipment as walls dry. The job ends when the readings reach the dry goal, not before.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Census figures for the 1 ZIP code near Allentown count 2,495 housing units and about 6,297 residents, and any one of those homes can back up. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Allentown was built in the 1990s. Builders in these years often put carpet over foam pad on basement floors. Both soak up sewage and have to be hauled out.

Roots grow through the warm months and pipes shift in the cold ones. The two together weaken joints year after year. A homeowner who rebuilds a basement after a backup may add a backwater valve. A plumber can say whether one fits the house.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

A plumber's report that names the cause, such as roots, grease or a collapsed pipe, helps explain the loss. Keep it with the crew's records, because an insurer reads the two together.

• Photograph the outdoor cleanout if it overflowed
• Keep copies of every claim form you send
• Read any claim release carefully before signing

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
