Sewage Cleanup Services in Southlake, TX
Sewage Backup Cleanup
Sewage that came up through floor drains, toilets or tubs is pumped out, solids are removed and the floor is cleaned before any drying begins.
Contaminated Flooring Removal
Laminate, vinyl plank and wood floors that sewage seeped under are lifted so the subfloor can be cleaned, disinfected and dried.
Contaminated Drywall Removal
Sewage wicks up into drywall and baseboards. Removing those sections lets the pros clean and disinfect the studs behind them.
Black Water Extraction
Black water carries bacteria and viruses, so the pros extract it fully and treat every wet surface instead of just drying it.
Sewage Damage Sanitization
Sanitizing follows cleaning, not the other way around. Disinfectant does not work well on surfaces still coated with waste.
How to Tell Sewage Is Backing Up
Backup After Heavy Rain
Drains that back up only during storms often mean the city sewer is overloaded and pushing water back toward the house.
Stained or Wet Flooring Near Fixtures
Dark stains, lifting tile or soft flooring around a toilet or tub can mean a slow leak from the drain connection.
Water in the Yard Cleanout
Water standing in or overflowing from the sewer cleanout pipe outside means the sewer pipe is blocked past that point.
Toilet Overflow That Will Not Stop
A toilet that overflows again after plunging, or overflows when another fixture drains, points to a blockage beyond the toilet.
How Sewage Water Extraction Works in Southlake
Step 1: Sort Belongings
Items that sewage touched are sorted into those that can be cleaned, such as hard plastics, and those that must be thrown out.
Step 2: Extract the Sewage
Sewage and dirty water are extracted from every affected room, starting where it is deepest.
Step 3: Contaminated Drywall Removal
Wet drywall and insulation are removed so the wall cavities can be cleaned and disinfected.
Step 4: Dry and Deodorize
Drying equipment runs with air scrubbers until materials are dry and the air no longer smells of sewage.
What Causes Sewage Backups in Southlake Homes
Septic System Problems
A full septic tank or a failing drain field can push sewage back into the house through the lowest drains.
Grease Buildup
Cooking grease poured down drains hardens inside pipes, narrows them and leads to backups at the lowest fixture.
Heavy Storm Runoff
Storm water that gets into sewer lines through cracks or illegal connections can overwhelm them and cause backups.
Tree Root Intrusion
Roots grow into joints and cracks in older sewer lines, catch waste and eventually block the line completely.
