24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Catalina Foothills, AZ
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading. The affected area is sealed off from the rest of the house. Porous materials the water reached come out and are bagged, with drywall cut to a margin above the visible line; hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. The space is then dried and read, and the containment comes down only when cleaning and drying are both finished.

Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Mold Remediation
Growth and the material it grew into come out under containment, what remains is cleaned, and the assembly is dried and read before anything closes it in.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is a bajada?
The apron of gravel and sand spread along the foot of a mountain range, built up over a very long time by material washing off it. The houses here are on that slope, and the washes crossing it are how the range still drains.
Why can it flood with no rain here?
Because the storm is on the mountain. A monsoon cell sitting over the range sends water down the washes within the hour, and it arrives at a house in bright sunshine with no rain having fallen on the property at all.
How close to a wash is too close?
Further than it looks on a dry day, which is the whole difficulty. A wash that is a gravel path most of the year runs bank to bank in a storm, and the mapped extent of that is worth checking rather than judging by eye.
