Sewage Water Extraction Work in Travelers Rest

Black Water Extraction

Black water carries bacteria and viruses, so the pros extract it fully and treat every wet surface instead of just drying it.

Sewage Backup Cleanup

The pros wear protective gear, contain the area so sewage is not tracked through the house, and clear the water and waste from every room it reached.

Emergency Sewage Pump Out

Deep sewage water is removed first with trash pumps that can handle solids, so extractors can reach the floor.

Flooded Basement Cleanup

Finished basements lose carpet, pad, drywall and insulation in a sewage backup. Concrete walls and floors are cleaned, treated and dried.

After cleanup, air scrubbers with carbon filters and a deodorizing treatment handle the odor that lingers in the air and on dried surfaces.
