Emergency Water Restoration

12/16/2019 (Permalink)

Anyone who has experienced the need for water damage restoration or water removal has seen what water can do to the interior of a home or building.

A flooded basement or flooding from natural disasters often bring debris and silt with it. A sewer b backup can be even worse, requiring sewage cleanup of liquid and solid waste along with water in a toxic and staining mess. Plumbing and appliance failures can bring their own unexpected headaches, ranging from overflowing washing machines, failed sump pumps, or broken water lines.

Sewer Backup and Flooding

Sewage backup damage can add an additional layer to the water damage restoration. This contaminated water can come in three varying levels of contamination

• Clean Water: water from a clean source, such as a broken water line, leaky faucet, etc. If left untreated, this could quickly degrade into either of the categories below.
• Gray Water: water that is contaminated and could cause illness or discomfort, such as toilet overflow without feces, dishwasher or washing machine overflow.
• Black Water: water that is majorly contaminated and  contact should be strictly avoided. Examples of these include overflowing toilet with feces, water from beyond the toilet trap, and flooding from outside water sources.
