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

- 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.

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
How does water get in at a heater like this?
Down the flue, usually, at the point it passes through the roof. The unit sits in an opening cut through a partition wall with a metal flue rising from it, and that flue is a penetration like any other. When its flashing goes, water runs down inside the pipe to the unit.
Why is it not noticed sooner?
Because these are off for most of the year here. With a short heating season the unit sits unused from spring to late autumn, so nothing about its performance changes and nobody looks at it. The water has usually been coming down the flue for a season before anyone knows.
What gets opened around the heater itself?
The wall around the unit, because the opening it sits in interrupts the framing and the water has been running into that. The unit comes out, the studs and plates either side are read directly, and the flue is dealt with above before anything goes back.
