Sewage Contamination Requires Fast Action
A sewage backup can spread contaminated water into flooring, walls, contents, and other porous materials. Water Pro responds 24/7 to assess visible conditions, identify immediate hazards, document the affected area, and explain the proposed cleanup scope.
The cleanup plan depends on the source, extent of contamination, materials affected, access, and how long the loss has been present. Avoid direct contact with sewage-affected water and call Water Pro at 812-936-4230 for an arrival window and immediate guidance.
Documented Cleanup for Contaminated Water
Proven Process
- Inspection and Contamination Assessment: Water Pro documents the visible source, affected materials, migration, access limitations, and moisture conditions used to plan the work.
- Work-Area Controls: Barriers, controlled access, appropriate PPE, and air-filtration or pressure controls may be used based on the conditions to reduce cross-contamination during cleanup.
- Extraction, Removal, and Cleaning: Sewage and standing water are extracted; materials that cannot be restored may be removed; accessible salvageable surfaces are physically cleaned and treated with project-appropriate products used according to their labels.
- Drying and Documentation: Air movers and dehumidifiers are used when appropriate for the material and contamination conditions, with readings tracked at documented points toward project-specific drying goals.
- Repair Planning: After cleanup and drying, Water Pro documents remaining repair needs and can provide reconstruction within the agreed scope.
