In Upperco, nestled just northwest of Baltimore, many homes feature finished basements susceptible to water damage following a sewage backup. This is especially common in older properties found throughout towns like Owings Mills and Finksburg, where basements were often finished after the home's original construction, making them vulnerable to modern plumbing issues.

Our Process

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment

    Upon arrival, our team conducts a thorough assessment to identify the main source and extent of the sewage backup. This includes using moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect all affected areas.

  2. 2

    Water Extraction

    We quickly remove standing water using powerful pumps and vacuums. This step is crucial to limit the extent of water damage and preparation for thorough drying.

  3. 3

    Sanitization and Deodorization

    Sewage water, categorized as black water, poses a health risk. We sanitize all affected areas using antimicrobial treatments and employ deodorization techniques to eliminate odors.

  4. 4

    Structural Drying and Dehumidification

    Employing air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers, we ensure that all moisture is effectively removed, preventing mold growth and further water damage.

  5. 5

    Final Inspection

    After drying, we perform a final inspection to ensure your home is restored to its pre-loss condition. We confirm moisture readings and provide detailed reports to your insurance company.

We Work With Your Insurance

Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. Upperco homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
