24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Gilbert, 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.

Frequently asked questions
Why is a dry channel a risk?
Because nothing about it looks like drainage for most of the year. It is a grassed or gravelled strip behind the houses, and over time fences, planting and stored things find their way into it. When a summer storm arrives, it has to carry a very large flow through whatever is now in the way.
How much water can arrive at once?
A large share of the annual total in an hour. This is a climate of eight or nine inches a year delivered in a handful of events, so the design flow for one of these channels is enormous relative to how it looks. The ground on either side is baked hard and absorbs almost none of it.
What should an owner backing onto one know?
Where the channel's capacity is and who maintains it. The association or the district usually has responsibility, but the obstruction is frequently on the private side of the fence. Keeping that strip clear, and knowing which side of the house is the low one, is what decides where a storm's water goes.
