Help With a Sewage Backup in The Acreage

Sewage carries bacteria and viruses, so a backup is not a normal water cleanup. Wet carpet, pad and drywall that sewage touched usually cannot be saved.

Sewage water extraction is available in The Acreage and nearby Royal Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens and Wellington. The pros handle toilet overflows, floor drain backups and main line backups in homes and businesses.

Sewage Water Extraction Work in The Acreage

Sewage Damage Sanitization

Studs and the slab or subfloor exposed by demolition are treated before drying so bacteria are not sealed into the wall.

Sewage Backup Cleanup

The pros wear protective gear, contain the area so sewage is not tracked through the house, and clear the water and waste from every room it reached.

Contaminated Drywall Removal

Sewage wicks up into drywall and baseboards. Removing those sections lets the pros clean and disinfect the studs behind them.

Black Water Extraction

Extraction pulls sewage out of hard floors, grout and slab cracks. Porous materials soaked with it are bagged and removed.

Contaminated Flooring Removal

Once contaminated flooring is out, the subfloor or slab is scrubbed, treated and dried before new flooring is installed.

Signs You Need Sewage Water Extraction

Sewage Smell Indoors

A rotten-egg or sewer smell inside the house can mean sewage is leaking under a floor or inside a wall.

Gurgling Toilets and Drains

Toilets and drains that gurgle or bubble when water runs elsewhere point to a blockage pushing air back up the pipes.

Wet Drywall Near Bathrooms

Damp, stained or soft drywall next to a bathroom or laundry can mean a leaking drain inside the wall.

Toilet Water Level Changes

A toilet bowl that rises, drops or bubbles by itself can mean pressure in the drain line from a partial blockage.

How Sewage Water Extraction Works in The Acreage

Step 1: Sort Belongings

Items that sewage touched are sorted into those that can be cleaned, such as hard plastics, and those that must be thrown out.

Step 2: Extract the Sewage

Sewage and dirty water are extracted from every affected room, starting where it is deepest.

Step 3: Contaminated Drywall Removal

Wet drywall and insulation are removed so the wall cavities can be cleaned and disinfected.

Step 4: Dry and Deodorize

Drying equipment runs with air scrubbers until materials are dry and the air no longer smells of sewage.

Common Causes of Sewage Backups in The Acreage

Collapsed or Sagging Pipe

Old pipes can crack, sag or collapse as soil shifts, leaving low spots where waste collects and blocks the flow.

Grease Buildup

Cooking grease poured down drains hardens inside pipes, narrows them and leads to backups at the lowest fixture.

Flushed Wipes and Debris

Wipes, paper towels and hygiene products do not break down like toilet paper and form clogs in the main line.

Heavy Storm Runoff

Storm water that gets into sewer lines through cracks or illegal connections can overwhelm them and cause backups.
