24/7 Emergency

Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Aurora, CO

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.

Often needed alongside

  • 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.

  • Structural Drying & Dehumidification

    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

Water came through the ceiling in July with no rain. What happened?

Most often a roof-mounted evaporative cooler. They sit above the ceiling and carry a constant water supply, so a stuck float or a blocked drain sends it straight down into the ceiling cavity. The wet insulation is pulled, the ceiling is opened along the wet framing and the bays are read, exactly as for a roof leak.

The wall feels completely dry. Why is the equipment still here?

Because with this little moisture in the air, surfaces finish far ahead of framing. A wall face can be dry to the hand in a day while the stud behind it still holds water, and that gap is wider here than almost anywhere. The endpoint comes off a meter in the framing; how the room feels is not a usable signal in this climate.

Six months of freezing. What does that do to the schedule?

It stretches the season when losses start rather than the time they take to dry. For half the year any unheated bay can split a line, so the causes are plumbing rather than weather. The compensation is that hard heating makes the indoor air extremely dry, so an opened cavity with the wet insulation out gives its moisture up quickly.
