What do we do?

Get rid of the water

Our crew will start by evaluating the water damage. Then they will use the necessary equipment that is able to come in contact with the sewage. Then they will begin to pump and extract the water from your house.

Drying

Just getting the water out of the house isn’t enough. Sewer backups require industrial strength fans to properly dry the area. The crews will also use dehumidifiers to eliminate any possible mold growth.

Sanitizing

Once there is absolutely no moisture left from the flood, the affected area/s will need to be sanitized and cleaned.  They will use chemicals to kill any harmful materials left behind. Even water from a flooded toilet could cause serious health concerns.

Sewage cleanup is NECESSARY if black water is involved. The bacteria from black water can cause you and your family to become seriously ill. Make sure you contact us right away if you experience a sewer backup in your home or business!
