24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Santa Ana, 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 does sharing one service mean in a loss?
That you cannot isolate one dwelling from the other. There is normally a single shutoff at the street for the whole lot, so stopping a failure in the back unit takes the water off the front house as well. Where two households are involved, that has to be sorted out in the first few minutes rather than discussed.
Where do these connections usually fail?
In the yard, at the point where the newer run meets the original. The line to the back dwelling was added decades after the house, frequently at a shallow depth under a paved yard, and the joint between old and new pipe is where movement and corrosion concentrate. The leak is then underground with no sign above it.
Who is responsible when both are affected?
It depends on the arrangement between the households, and it is worth being clear before there is a problem. Where the back dwelling is rented, the owner's cover and the tenant's belongings are separate questions, and the shared pipework sits between them. A loss is a poor moment to work that out for the first time.
