Sewage Removal and Cleanup

Water damage mitigation and sewage removal and cleanup are specialized services provided by Drytime Restoration Services to address the aftermath of water contamination, particularly when it involves sewage or wastewater. Here’s an overview of the steps involved in water damage mitigation, sewage removal, and cleanup:

• Assessment and Safety: Our restoration team will assess the extent of the water damage, identify the presence of sewage or wastewater, and evaluate any safety hazards associated with the contamination. They will ensure that proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is worn to protect against biohazards.
• Containment: To prevent further spread of sewage-contaminated water, the affected area will be isolated and contained. Plastic barriers may be used to create containment zones and prevent cross-contamination to unaffected areas.
• Extraction: Our restoration team will use specialized pumps and extraction equipment to remove standing water, including sewage or wastewater. Proper disposal procedures will be followed to ensure compliance with local regulations and prevent environmental contamination.
• Disinfection and Sanitization: Once the water is removed, the affected surfaces will be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sanitized using professional-grade antimicrobial agents. This step is crucial to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens present in sewage or wastewater.
• Decontamination: Any affected materials or items that cannot be effectively cleaned and restored will be properly disposed of according to local regulations. Porous materials like carpets, upholstered furniture, and insulation are often unsalvageable and need to be discarded.
• Structural Drying: After the cleaning and decontamination process, our restoration team will employ drying techniques, such as air movers and dehumidifiers, to thoroughly dry the affected area. This step helps prevent further damage, mold growth, and the spread of unpleasant odors.
• Odor Removal: If persistent odors remain after the cleanup, specialized techniques such as thermal fogging or ozone treatments may be used to eliminate the odors associated with sewage contamination.
• Monitoring and Documentation: Throughout the mitigation process, moisture levels, sanitation procedures, and progress will be closely monitored and documented for insurance claims and future reference.
