How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Gettysburg

A warm, humid week in Gettysburg speeds all of this up. A cold basement slows it, but wet materials still have to come out.

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

   Odor control follows the cleaning. A smell that lingers often means a wet spot remains, so the crew looks again instead of masking it.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Owners live in about 74% of the occupied homes in the ZIP codes around Gettysburg, so a backup often means a homeowner's claim file and a plumber's report. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Gettysburg was built in the 1970s. Many homes of this age have had their sewer pipe patched once or twice. The patch is often where the next backup begins.

Frozen ground holds snowmelt on top, and the extra water flows into storm and sewer systems. A main that fills can back up through basement drains. With owners in most homes, neighbors often compare notes. If several homes have slow drains, the city sewer department should hear about it.
