Sewage Backup in Residential Boiler Room and Crawl Space in Hudson, OH

A drain backup caused bulk sewage to collect in a step-down boiler room/crawlspace. Upon our arrival to the scene, the drain had already been repaired and the area needed to be cleaned and sanitized.

Using creepers to get under the dining room crawlspace, the cleaning and sanitizing took a total of about 5 hours. An air filtration device was then used for air circulation in the crawl space. The homeowner was pleased with the job and process.
