Sewage Backup Cleanup in Channahon

Cleaning up a sewage backup in Channahon

Water from a floor drain, a toilet or the sewer line cannot be dried and left in place the way a clean leak sometimes can. Our crew starts by extracting it, then cuts out the porous materials it reached: carpet and pad, the lower section of drywall, and wet insulation. What remains, like the concrete slab and tile, is scrubbed and treated with an antimicrobial before the drying equipment goes in. When the moisture readings say the space is dry, we rebuild it.

Channahon is on our regular route, reached off I-55 and I-80 and along Route 6. Every drain in a house empties into one line, so when that line is blocked, the water comes back out of the lowest opening, usually a basement floor drain or a basement toilet. That is why a load of laundry upstairs can make a backup worse. Before we cut anything, we trace where the water wicked with a moisture meter, so the removal matches the damage instead of a guess.

What we do on a Channahon sewage job

From the first call to the last coat of paint

You get the daily equipment rates in writing before we set a single machine. Each day we check the equipment and record the readings, and every machine leaves as soon as its area reads dry. The rebuild estimate is itemized line by line in the pricing format carriers use, and anything that changes along the way is priced in writing for your approval first. We start the rebuild on the dates we give you and finish with a walkthrough.

• Written daily rates before any machine runs
• A moisture map before anything is cut
• Baseboard, carpet and wet drywall removed
• Antimicrobial treatment on what stays
• Equipment out as soon as it reads dry
• Copies of photos, readings and the estimate
