How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Kensett

Drywall wicks sewage up the wall and stays damp inside. The longer it sits, the more likely mold becomes a problem behind the paint.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Hoses carry the sewage to a proper disposal point. It never goes to a storm drain, a yard or a neighbor's property.

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

   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

   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 58% of homes in the ZIP codes around Kensett date from before 1960, when clay and cast iron sewer pipe were common. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Kensett was built in the 1940s. Pipe in a pre-1960 house has had decades to shift. Dips and offset joints collect waste and block more easily.

Frost can heave pipe joints out of line. Even a small shift leaves a ledge that catches paper and grease. Most homes here are owner-occupied, so the owner usually makes the calls to the plumber, the crew and the insurer. Keeping every report in one folder makes the claim easier.

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.

• Ask the adjuster which items it wants to see first
• Photograph the sewage and the drain before anything moves
• Keep the crew's list of materials removed

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