Sewage Cleanup

Available 24Hours/7Days

We know how important an imediate response is to you.  No one wants to have that smell and contaminates in there home.  The method for restoring a loss that has occured due to a sewage backflow is much different than a fresh water situation.

Sewage is considered a category 3 in water damage classification,   because it contains pathogenic, fungal, and viral contamination (disease causing) or when water has dwelled in a structure for more then 120 hours. 

               These are some of the disease
                causing organisms in Sewage

  • Hepatitis A
  • Bacteria
  • Salmonells
  • Respiratory Disease
  • Bacillary Dysentery
  • Balontidiasis

    Even a category 2 that is not attended to will continue to degrade and become a category 3 after 48 hours.  Category 2 is considered water from aquariums, water bed leaks, dishwasher discharge, washing machine and water that enters the structure from below grade.

         Health and Safety Are The First Proirity

    Individuals with compromised immune systems should be evacuated from the structure until it has been judges safe for  occupancy, (e.g. the very young, the elderly, those who have undergone recent surgery or chemotherapy and those whose immune systems are suppressed. 

  • The next step: various cleaning and decomtamination procedures must be used, including the removal of all highly porous materials (e.g. carpets, underlay (pad, cushion), wall board, insulation, hard wood floors) aff

  • All other surfaces that can be restored must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

    Puff Backs from burners, (also referred to as delayed ignition) occurs when oil is delivered to the combustion chamber, but is not immediately ignited.  When it finally ignites, an explosion in the firebox takes place, accompanied by a puff of smoke.  This smoke can radiate through your home.

    We clean every inch of your home that is affected.  Not even a cup is left un-cleaned.  We begin the cleaning by using a special sponge and products. Every wall and item is thoroughly cleaned.  We even clean the light bulbs.  Last but not least we clean the furniture as well as the carpet.

    The Do's and Don'ts

    Do

    •  Limit movement in the home to prevent soot particles frombeing impregnated into upholstery and carpet.
    • Keep hands clean.  Soot on hands can impregnate upholstery, walls and woodwork, causing more damage.
    • Cover carpeted traffic areas with towels or old linens to prevent more soiling.
    • Discard all opened food packages.  The food is probably contaminated.

    Don't                                                               

    • Don't attempt to wash any papered or flat painted walls without consulting with your professiona; cleaner.  Incorrect cleaning could compound the soil residue problem.
    • Do not attempt to clean carpet or upholstery furniture.  Again, incorrest experience and procedures could compound the problem.
    • Do not use electrical appliances that have been close to the fire or water before having them checked.  They could malfunction.
    • Do not use ceiling fixtures if ceiling is wet.  A short circut could result.
    • Do not eat food that has been exposed to fire or smoke.
