How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Centralia

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 checks the electrical situation before powered equipment goes in. Wet outlets and cords stay off until a qualified person has looked at them.

2. Map where the sewage went

   Photos go into the claim file before anything moves. The crew records each room, each drain and each damaged material.

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

   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 figures for the 1 ZIP code near Centralia count 3,903 housing units and about 8,740 residents, and any one of those homes can back up. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Centralia was built in the 1980s. Many homes of this age have finished basements with a bathroom. A basement bathroom sits below the main and takes backflow first.

Drying time changes with the season. Humid summer air slows evaporation, and cold air slows it too, so the crew adjusts the equipment. 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

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.

• Keep the crew's list of materials removed
• List ruined belongings room by room with a rough value
• Ask the adjuster which items it wants to see first

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