24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Lancaster, 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
Why does the pad settle?
Because it sits on disturbed ground. The soil against a foundation was excavated and backfilled during construction and never regained the density of the ground around it, so anything placed on it keeps sinking. The pad tilts toward the wall, and the surface around it goes with it.
Is the equipment itself at risk?
It can be, but the building matters more. A unit sitting out of level runs badly and its connections take strain, which is a service issue. The larger problem is a hollow against the foundation in a place where the ground collapses when wetted, which is what moves a slab.
What does correcting it involve?
Lifting the pad and regrading the ground under and around it so that it falls away from the wall. It is straightforward work while the unit is being serviced or replaced, and it is worth doing then rather than as its own job, because the lines have to be disconnected either way.
