Toxic Spill Water Removal

Gray Water Damage Cleanup

Gray water can carry soap, food and bacteria. If it sits for a day or two, it is treated more like black water.

Black Water Extraction

Black water extraction starts with containment, so contamination is not tracked through the house during cleanup.

Contaminated materials are bagged and disposed of according to local rules, and the removed items are listed for insurance.

Sewage Backup Water Removal

After a sewage backup, carpet, pad and lower drywall that soaked it up are removed, and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected.
