Daily moisture readings show when wood and concrete have dried enough. The crew does not call a room finished on feel alone.
-
Pump out the standing sewage

Sewage Backup Removal Questions in Rothbury
Do I need to be home when the crew works in Rothbury?
Someone with authority over the property should be there to approve the work and point out the affected rooms. Tenants should tell the landlord first.
Will the crew tell me what caused the backup in Rothbury?
The crew handles the sewage and not the pipe. A plumber's camera inspection finds the cause, such as roots, grease or a collapsed section.
Is a sewage backup in Rothbury an emergency?
Yes. Sewage carries bacteria and viruses, and it soaks in deeper the longer it sits. Call (888) 578-6508 right away.
What happens to carpet after sewage in a Rothbury basement?
It comes out. Carpet and pad hold sewage that washing cannot remove, so the crew cuts them into strips, bags them and carries them away.
Is sewage removal in Rothbury different from a clean water job?
Yes. Sewage is Category 3 water, so the crew uses protective gear and containment, removes porous materials and disinfects what stays.
Stay out of the wet area and phone (888) 578-6508. Rothbury crews pump, tear out and sanitize.
