How Sewage Backup Removal Works in La Crosse

A fan pointed at sewage pushes germs through the air and does not make the room safe. Drying comes after the sewage and the soaked materials are 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

   Baseboards, particleboard cabinets and padded furniture soaked in sewage usually cannot be saved. The crew lists each item for the claim before bagging it.

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

Census data lists 1,290 residents in the 1 ZIP code around La Crosse, and a home built in the 1950s is typical there. Older basements often have a single floor drain tied right into the main. When the main backs up, that drain is the first place sewage appears.

An occasional hard freeze can crack exposed drain pipe, and heavy rain in the same year can overload the sewer. Backups come from either one. A homeowner decides how fast removal starts and signs the work order. That also means the owner checks the policy for sewer and drain backup coverage.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

• List ruined belongings room by room with a rough value
• Tell your landlord or association in writing
• Keep the crew's daily moisture logs in the claim folder

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