How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Scranton

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 technician marks the wet line on every wall and notes what each room is made of. That map decides what comes out.

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

In the ACS 2019-2023 figures for the 1 ZIP code near Scranton, 39% of homes predate 1980 and 23% are newer than 2000. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Scranton was built in the 1980s. Drywall over wood studs is the norm in these houses. The drywall wicks sewage up the wall, and the studs usually stay.

Drying time changes with the season. Humid summer air slows evaporation, and cold air slows it too, so the crew adjusts the equipment. Owners can ask the plumber to write down the cause of the backup. That report helps explain the loss to the adjuster.
