Sewage Cleanup Process

  1. Contain & Assess. Seal the impacted area, assess structural involvement, and protect unaffected spaces.
  2. Extract & Remove. Pump and extract wastewater, remove saturated materials, and prepare for disposal.
  3. Disinfect & Dry. Apply antimicrobials, install drying equipment, and monitor until clearance criteria are met.

Our team documents every step with photos, daily logs, and microbial clearance testing when required.
