24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Meriden, CT
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 is above the city?
Water supply impoundments in the trap rock ridges, held behind earth embankments. They are up in the hills rather than visible from the streets, which is why most households below them do not think about them at all. They are also considerably higher than the streets, which is the part that matters and the part nobody sees.
What happens in a very wet autumn?
The reservoir fills and then has to pass everything else over the spillway. That discharge goes into the watercourse running down through the city, so the streams below a full impoundment carry more than the local rainfall would suggest. The stream carrying it down through the city is the same one the neighborhoods are built alongside.
Is the condition of the dams public?
It is. State dam safety programs inspect and rate these structures and the records are available, so a household downstream of one can find out how it is classified rather than assuming. That is worth doing once. Knowing the hazard classification of a particular structure is worth the single search it takes.
