How it's done

drain backup in Old Town, step by step

1

Shut Down Drains.

Crews stop use of the affected drains in your Old Town home immediately to prevent further sewage spread to other areas. Specialized extraction equipment removes every drop of contaminated water from floors and crawlspaces before it damages more wood.

2

Remove Soaked Materials.

Old Town carpets, padding, and drywall saturated by drain backup cannot be salvaged successfully once fully wet. Crews carefully remove only these water-damaged materials to prevent mold growth and preserve your home's original hardwoods and century-old framing.

3

Disinfect, Deodorize, Dry.

All framing and hard surfaces in Old Town are treated with professional disinfectant solution and deodorized thoroughly to remove odor. Air movers and dehumidifiers run until moisture readings confirm your home is fully dry and ready to live in.
