Help With a Sewage Backup in Arcadia
A sewage backup spreads quickly across hard floors and soaks into anything porous. The longer it sits, the more drywall, flooring and cabinets have to go.
Sewage water extraction is available in Arcadia and nearby Sierra Madre, Temple City and Monrovia. The pros handle toilet overflows, floor drain backups and main line backups in homes and businesses.
What Sewage Water Extraction Covers in Arcadia
Contaminated Flooring Removal
Carpet and pad soaked with sewage cannot be cleaned safely and are cut out and bagged. Hard flooring may be saved if water did not get under it.
Sewage Odor Removal
The smell comes from waste left in porous materials. Removing those materials and cleaning the hard surfaces does most of the work.
Sewage Damage Sanitization
Floors, walls, cabinets and fixtures touched by sewage are cleaned with detergent first, then treated with a registered disinfectant.
Black Water Extraction
Sewage is category 3 water, also called black water. It is removed with extractors and pumps that discharge to a drain or holding tank, not onto the yard.
Sewage Backup Cleanup
Sewage that came up through floor drains, toilets or tubs is pumped out, solids are removed and the floor is cleaned before any drying begins.
When a Drain Problem Becomes a Sewage Cleanup
Sewage Coming Up Through Drains
Dirty water rising in a floor drain, shower or tub, especially when another fixture is used, means the drain line is blocked.
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.
Toilet Overflow That Will Not Stop
A toilet that overflows again after plunging, or overflows when another fixture drains, points to a blockage beyond the toilet.
Stained or Wet Flooring Near Fixtures
Dark stains, lifting tile or soft flooring around a toilet or tub can mean a slow leak from the drain connection.
How Sewage Water Extraction Works in Arcadia
Step 1: Stop the Backup
Water use in the house is stopped and the blockage is cleared or isolated so no more sewage comes up the drains.
Step 2: Black Water Extraction
Sewage is pumped and extracted from floors and fixtures, and solids are removed for proper disposal.
Step 3: Remove Contaminated Materials
Carpet, pad, drywall, insulation and baseboards touched by sewage are cut out and bagged.
Step 4: Clean, Disinfect and Dry
Floors, studs and fixtures are cleaned and treated with disinfectant, then dried with air movers and dehumidifiers.
Common Causes of Sewage Backups in Arcadia
Tree Root Intrusion
Roots grow into joints and cracks in older sewer lines, catch waste and eventually block the line completely.
Main Line Clog
A blockage in the main building drain sends sewage from every fixture to the lowest drain in the house.
Septic System Problems
A full septic tank or a failing drain field can push sewage back into the house through the lowest drains.
Grease Buildup
Cooking grease poured down drains hardens inside pipes, narrows them and leads to backups at the lowest fixture.
