Pump out the standing sewage

Map where the sewage went
A moisture meter shows how far the sewage wicked into walls and subfloors. The reading often reaches past what the eye can see.

Cut out and haul away what soaked
Carpet and pad come up first, cut into manageable strips and double-bagged. They leave through a protected path, not across clean floors.

Sanitize, dry and verify

Sewage Backup Removal Questions in Renfrew
What should I say when calling about sewage in Renfrew?
Name the drain that backed up, how far the sewage spread, the floor types and whether it is still rising. Mention stairs, a crawl space or a neighboring apartment.
Does heavy rain cause sewage backups in Renfrew, PA?
It can. Rain can overload the sewer main, and the lowest drains in houses take the backflow. If your basement drain gurgles during a storm, call a plumber.
Does the crew in Renfrew haul away the soaked materials?
Yes. Removing the bagged materials is part of the job, so the homeowner does not have to carry sewage-soaked carpet or drywall out.
What happens to carpet after sewage in a Renfrew basement?
It comes out. Carpet and pad hold sewage that washing cannot remove, so the crew cuts them into strips, bags them and carries them away.
Will insurance cover a sewage backup in Renfrew, PA?
Many standard policies leave out sewer and drain backup unless an endorsement was added. Coverage depends on the policy, so check with your own insurer.
