How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Boyds
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.

Pump out the standing sewage
The crew suits up in boots, gloves, a respirator and coveralls before anyone steps into the wet area. Submersible pumps and extractors start moving the standing sewage out.

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