Sewage
Category 2 & 3
One of the most disgusting and stressful home disasters is the back up of a sewage line. In urban areas this can happen when heavy rains overload ancient storm drains. The drainage lines from urban homes are invariably tied into the same system. When they become full, everything backs up to (and out of!) the closest opening. Many urban sewer systems are centuries old. These old systems are dilapidated and inadequate. Incidents due to this are happening with increasing frequency.
Our certified specialists use state-of-the-art equipment for removal and cleaning of the sewage contaminants. Cleaning your sewage loss under negative air pressure is important so that the contaminants do not become airborne. The structure is also cleaned with industrial-strength cleaning agents and anti-microbial disinfectants to prevent mold growth and eliminate odors. We then use sophisticated drying equipment to remove remaining moisture.
Successful clean up of sewage-damaged structures and personal property requires professionals adhere to the IICRC Standards. These Standards assure all parties of thorough, cost effective, and prompt clean up services.
Equally important to a timely response is accurately categorizing the water’s contamination level. The IICRC Standards classify water sources as sanitary and unsanitary water categories.
A categorization of the level of contamination of water in a damaged structure is required to perform loss assessment and evaluation activities. The category of water contamination must be considered so that procedures can be established for processing water-damaged structures and materials safely.
