How City Sewer Backup Cleanup Works in Tremonton

1. Remove wastewater

   Truck-mounted or portable equipment pulls dirty water from the Tremonton floor, depending on access. Portable extraction may be needed where stairs limit access for larger equipment.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   A moisture map includes cabinet bases and thresholds where dirty water can travel sideways. Cabinet bases often create a separate moisture pocket along a wall.

3. Remove affected porous layers

   Material removal follows actual sewage contact, with photographs taken before each section changes. A clearly marked boundary helps keep clean materials out of the waste stream.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   A final check documents that the remaining structure is ready for the next work stage. Final measurements document the point when rebuild work can be considered.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
