How Floor Drain Backup Cleanup Works in Interlochen

Category 3 sewer water requires sanitation before normal drying. The restoration team removes touched porous material and checks remaining surfaces for moisture. Category identification controls whether porous material can remain in place.

1. Remove the overflow

   A mitigation team begins at the lowest pooled spots. The technician records the water depth and affected surfaces before material removal.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   A dry reference area gives the crew a comparison point. The wet map then shows where equipment and access are needed.

3. Handle affected materials

   Where Category 3 water contacted absorbent finishes, the crew removes those materials before drying. Sanitation addresses surfaces that remain.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the remaining materials after sanitation. The technician compares readings with the dry reference before equipment leaves.
