Sewer Backup in Basement

Sewer backups should be considered an emergency since the water may contain viruses, bacteria, and other microbes that cause serious illnesses. The team at SERVPRO of Winooski/Stowe have specialized training and equipment to quickly and safely clean contaminants like sewage.

This property suffered a sewer backup that occurred for several days in the unfinished basement. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was required prior to extraction of the CAT3 water with a truck mounted unit. The affected material to include floor, walls, pipes and contents were treated with a plant based antimicrobial and cleaned with pressure steam. 

Drying equipment (dehumidifier and fans) is then installed to remove the excess moisture and return the basement to pre loss condition.
