How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Cullen
A musty smell after a backup points to hidden moisture. Call early, because that smell usually comes from material that needs to be cut out.

Pump out the standing sewage
The crew checks the electrical situation before powered equipment goes in. Wet outlets and cords stay off until a qualified person has looked at them.

Map where the sewage went
Ducts, vents and cabinets get checked along with the floor. Sewage and its smell can travel where the eye does not.

Cut out and haul away what soaked

Sanitize, dry and verify
