How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Bergenfield

Carpet and pad hold sewage against the subfloor. Pulling them out early gives mold less to grow on and cuts the germs sitting in the house.

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

   Thermal imaging picks out cool, wet areas behind drywall. The crew confirms each one with a meter before any cutting starts.

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

Roughly 8% 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 Bergenfield was built in the 1950s. Many homes from before 1960 have clay or cast iron sewer pipe. Both materials have joints that let roots in, and old cast iron can rust through.

Roots grow through the warm months and pipes shift in the cold ones. The two together weaken joints year after year. With owners in most homes, neighbors often compare notes. If several homes have slow drains, the city sewer department should hear about it.
