How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Radnor

A musty smell after a backup points to hidden moisture. Call early, because that smell usually comes from material that needs to be cut out.

1. 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.

2. Map where the sewage went

   The crew tests the crawl space or subfloor when sewage may have run beneath the finished floor. Insulation under a floor soaks it up like a sponge.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Insulation that touched sewage cannot be dried and reused. It goes into heavy bags and out of the house.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   Concrete, tile and framing get scrubbed with a cleaner, then treated with an EPA-registered disinfectant. Cleaning comes before drying, because drying alone leaves germs behind.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

About 40% of homes in the ZIP codes around Radnor date from before 1960, when clay and cast iron sewer pipe were common. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Radnor 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.

Roof vents can frost over in hard winters. A frosted vent makes drains slow and gurgle, and a plumber checks it. With owners in most homes, neighbors often compare notes. If several homes have slow drains, the city sewer department should hear about it.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Flood insurance and homeowners insurance cover different events. Sewage that comes up a drain is usually a backup claim and not a flood claim. Ask your insurer which one applies to your loss.

• Photograph the outdoor cleanout if it overflowed
• Ask the insurer how it wants photos sent
• Save every receipt for hotels, supplies and removal

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