24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Colorado Springs, 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
Why is there a gap at the bottom of the basement walls?
It is deliberate. The ground under a slab here lifts when it gets wet, so the floor can rise, and the partitions are framed to hang clear rather than bear on it. After a loss it matters because the gap runs the full length of every wall, so water does not stop where the room does.
Does dry air mean the job finishes quickly?
The visible part, yes. With five freezing months and under twenty inches of rain a year, surfaces and framing come down fast once they are open. What does not follow the air is the slab and the ground beneath it, which take water in and give it back slowly, so the readings run well past the point the room looks done.
What happens if a slab leak is left running?
It stops being only a drying problem. Water feeding the soil under the floor makes that ground swell, and a slab that lifts takes the flooring and anything bearing on it with it. Finding and stopping the source early is what keeps the job about moisture rather than about a floor that has moved.
