How Sewage Backup Removal Works in Lafayette

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.

1. 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.

2. Map where the sewage went

   Photos go into the claim file before anything moves. The crew records each room, each drain and each damaged material.

3. Cut out and haul away what soaked

   Hard items such as tile, metal and sealed wood are cleaned and kept when they can be. The crew sorts as it goes.

4. Sanitize, dry and verify

   The technician returns to take daily moisture readings and moves equipment as walls dry. The job ends when the readings reach the dry goal, not before.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

In the ACS 2019-2023 figures for the 5 ZIP codes near Lafayette, 43% of homes predate 1980 and 28% are newer than 2000. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Lafayette was built in the 1980s. Builders in these years often put carpet over foam pad on basement floors. Both soak up sewage and have to be hauled out.

Many homes here have both a basement and a crawl space. Sewage may reach either one, and the crew checks both. A rented unit's sewage backup can reach neighbors through shared walls or drains. The manager should check the units next to it.
