How Sewage Smell After Backup Cleanup Works in Luna

1. Remove standing wastewater

   Extraction starts at the contaminated footprint and follows its spread. The initial extraction clears the surface for a closer material assessment.

2. Trace wet layers

   Lower ceilings are measured when the spill began upstairs. Ceiling readings reveal whether gravity carried the spill below.

3. Remove contaminated material

   Cabinet bases are assessed for contamination inside the enclosure. A contaminated tack strip can require careful removal along the floor edge.

4. Dry and record

   Dehumidifiers lower moisture in structure that can remain. Drying equipment targets the remaining wet structure.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A basement may feel humid after the sewage is extracted. Dehumidification helps the safe remaining structure release moisture. Humidity control helps protect furniture outside the contaminated footprint while the wet structure releases water.

• Keep children and pets away from the wastewater area.
• Stop using drains and fixtures that feed the backup.
• Stay clear of outlets, cords and appliances near standing water.
• Photograph the scene from a safe position before material is moved.
• Call a plumber for the obstruction and call the cleanup crew for the water damage.
