How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Mokelumne Hill

Sewage carries bacteria and viruses that can make people sick. Skin contact, splashes and a drain that sprays as it flows are all ways it spreads.

1. Pump out the standing sewage

   Hoses carry the sewage to a proper disposal point. It never goes to a storm drain, a yard or a neighbor's property.

2. Map where the sewage went

   Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   The crew handles the loading and disposal of the bags. The homeowner does not carry sewage-soaked materials out alone.

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

Roughly 26% of homes in these ZIP codes were built in 2000 or later, and most of those have plastic drain pipe. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Mokelumne Hill was built in the 1980s. Builders in these years often put carpet over foam pad on basement floors. Both soak up sewage and have to be hauled out.

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 who rebuilds a basement after a backup may add a backwater valve. A plumber can say whether one fits the house.
