24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Lake Elsinore, CA
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
What happens to ground like this when it gets wet?
It collapses on itself. Dry desert soils can hold an open structure with a lot of air in them, held together by the very fact that they are dry. Water breaks those bonds down, and the soil compacts into a smaller volume. Anything sitting on it drops with it, and it does not come back up.
How does that show up in a house?
As a slab that has moved in one area. Doors bind, cracks open in the floor or across a wall, and the pattern points toward wherever water has been going into the ground, which is usually a leaking line, a downspout discharging at one point, or irrigation against the foundation.
Does fixing the leak stop it?
It stops it getting worse, which matters. The soil that has already collapsed will not lift again on its own, so the movement to date is permanent, but the process only continues while water keeps arriving. Finding and stopping the source is the first thing any repair should be built on.
