Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Sunnyvale, 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

Where does the water go when the floor is flooded?

Into the ducts, through the floor registers. They sit at the lowest point of the room and open directly into a metal run inside the slab, so a loss that crosses the floor drains into the system within minutes. That is the part of the job that takes longest, because it is below everything and cannot be reached from the room.

Can the heating be used to help dry the house?

Not while the ducts are wet, and that is the awkward part. Running a system with standing water in it moves that moisture into every room instead of out of the building. The ducts are cleared and dried first, on their own, and the house is carried on portable equipment until the system is signed off.

What decides whether the ducts can stay?

How long they stood full and what came in with the water. Metal that held clean water briefly is cleaned and dried in place; a run that held water for days, or took anything from a drain, is a replacement, and replacing a duct inside a pour means cutting the floor. That decision is made early because everything else waits on it.
