Contaminated Water Is a Health Risk, Not Just Water
Sewage backups and other contaminated water carry bacteria and other hazards that regular cleanup methods don’t address — and materials that absorb it often need to be removed rather than dried.
What you’re dealing with
- ✓A sewage backup from a clogged or damaged main line
- ✓A sump pump or ejector pump failure pushing contaminated water inside
- ✓Flooding that picked up outdoor contamination on the way in
- ✓Uncertainty about what can be cleaned versus what must be discarded
How we solve it
- ✓Safe extraction using the right protective equipment and process
- ✓Sanitizing of all affected surfaces, not just visible cleanup
- ✓Proper disposal of contaminated porous materials
- ✓Documentation for insurance and, where relevant, health department requirements
