Expert Sewage Cleanup for Prestwick Homeowners

Sewage in a crawl space sits right under the floor you walk on. It keeps the air down there damp and dirty, and the house pulls that air up through gaps in the subfloor. Prestwick Water Restoration gets the standing waste and the soaked vapor barrier out of your Prestwick crawl space on the first day. The crew treats the exposed soil and runs HEPA filtration while the space dries.

Prestwick Water Restoration finishes a sewage job in Prestwick on readings. Every material that got wet gets a final reading against dry material elsewhere in your home, the cleaned surfaces get inspected, and the room gets an odor check with the air scrubbers off. The containment comes down after that, and the photos and readings go in your file.

Removal follows the water. Prestwick Water Restoration cuts drywall above the line the moisture meters justify, usually a foot or two over the visible staining, pulls the wet insulation out of the cavity and bags the carpet cushion, which doesn't survive sewage. Baseboard, particleboard and anything else that drank the water goes in the same load, inventoried for the claim before it leaves your Prestwick home.

If you plan to file a claim, the first day's condition is the hardest thing to show later. Prestwick Water Restoration photographs your Prestwick home before cleanup changes it and logs the readings from the first visit. The crew can start containment and extraction on your written okay while you talk to your insurance company, and the record shows the house the way the crew found it.

Call Prestwick Water Restoration and ask for the sewage crew. The dispatch window is 2 hours to Prestwick addresses, the crew works in full protective gear, and the truck carries the containment, filtration, extraction and disinfection equipment this kind of loss needs.

Our Process

How Prestwick Water Restoration Handles Sewage Cleanup

We follow these steps in order on every Prestwick job.

1

Source Isolation

Work opens with stopping the inflow. The crew locates the backup point, confirms whether the blockage sits on the house side or the public side of the line, and coordinates with the drain contractor clearing it while containment and extraction get staged.

2

Solids Removal

Paper and solid debris get scooped out by hand into heavy bags before any pump touches the water. Solids can clog the hoses, so taking them out first keeps the extraction in Prestwick cleaner.

3

Bulk Waste Extraction

Solids handling pumps and waste rated extraction units pull the standing sewage out into the truck tank. Equipment used on sewage jobs stays dedicated to that work. Hard surfaces get squeegeed down before removal work opens up the walls.

4

Contents Sorting

Belongings in the room get sorted before the removal work starts. Anything the water reached is photographed and listed before it goes into bags, and hard goods that can be cleaned are set aside for separate cleaning.

5

Hard Surface Decontamination

Exposed framing, subfloor, slab and joists get scrubbed and rinsed, and the rinse water gets extracted. An EPA registered antimicrobial goes on once the surfaces are clean and stays wet for the dwell time printed on the product label.

Common Questions

Sewage Cleanup FAQ

Questions Prestwick homeowners ask us about sewage cleanup.

Call both, since they do different jobs and the calls can go out at the same time. A plumber or drain contractor stops the inflow by clearing or repairing the line, and the restoration crew removes the waste and the soaked materials already inside your Prestwick home. If water is still coming up, tell Prestwick Water Restoration on the call so the crew can stage containment while the plumber works.
The scope you approve is written from what the readings and the visible damage show. If opening a wall reveals that the contamination traveled farther, the crew photographs it and takes new readings, then walks you through the added work before doing it. Nothing gets added to the scope for your Prestwick home until you've approved it in writing.
That depends on your policy. Policies treat sewer and drain backup in different ways, and some leave it out unless it was added, so pull your declarations page or ask your agent. The crew photographs the backup in your Prestwick home for your photo report, and Prestwick Water Restoration explains what it shows before you talk with your insurance company. The report covers the source, the removal and the disposal list.
The company behind Prestwick Water Restoration dates to 2018, when Aaron Christy founded it, and he still leads it. Its water restoration manager is IICRC certified. Crews handle sewage backups across central Indiana, including Prestwick, in respirators and disposable suits and under containment, and every job gets a photo report, daily readings and a written scope you approve, so you can see what was removed and what was cleaned in your home.
The cleanup inside the house follows the same steps, so the time it takes depends on how far the water spread and what the meters show. A septic backup can add a wait at the start, since the tank has to be pumped or the blockage cleared before the crew can finish extracting. The septic company's visit sets that part of the schedule in your Prestwick home.
It depends on where the water came from. Water from a washing machine or dishwasher that overflowed on its own is usually gray water, Category 2, because it carries soap and soil. If it came back up through a drain from the sewer line, it's Category 3. The crew traces the source before choosing a category, and the photos of the fixture and the drain go into your Prestwick file.
Most don't, because mold work gets added only when growth is found. Quick removal of the soaked materials and drying checked by readings go a long way toward keeping that from happening. If the crew opens a wall in your Prestwick home and finds growth, the remediation gets its own scope under the S520, separate from the sewage cleanup, so you can see each part on its own.
It's worth considering once the line is clear. A plumber can run a camera through the cleanout and show you roots, cracks, offset joints or a sagging section of pipe, which tells you whether the backup could happen again. Keep the video and the written report with the cleanup file for your Prestwick home, and ask the plumber whether a backwater valve makes sense for your house.
Disposable coveralls, gloves, boots and respirators are the standard gear for working in Category 3 water. The crew puts them on at the edge of the work zone and takes them off at the same line, bagging whatever touched the water, so contamination doesn't ride out on clothing into the clean part of your Prestwick home. Tools and reusable gear get washed and disinfected before they leave the zone.
Usually a foot to two feet above the visible water line, with the meters deciding the rest. The cut has to clear the wet gypsum, the contamination that wicked above the water line and the insulation sitting behind it, so a cut made right at the water line leaves wet paper and wet batt in the cavity. Crews also cut to a height that makes the rebuild clean, which often means the nearest stud bay or one consistent line around the room. Prestwick Water Restoration photographs the readings behind the cut height on every job, so you can see why the cut sits where it does.
