24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in New Britain, 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.

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 this room wetter than the cellar?
Because it sits outside the foundation and below everything else. It was dug back into the ground with whatever wall the builder thought sufficient, it has an earth or unsealed floor, and it has no heating and no ventilation. Every condition that keeps the main cellar reasonably dry is absent from it.
What does the condensation come from?
The rest of the house. Warmer air from the cellar moves into a room whose walls and floor are at ground temperature, and it gives up its moisture on those surfaces. That is why the walls run in spring and summer rather than in winter, which is the opposite of what people expect.
Is it worth keeping in use?
Only for things that do not mind it. With a sealed floor, a working door and a little ventilation it becomes an ordinary cool store, which is what it was for. Using it for anything paper, fabric or electrical without doing that work is how most of the damage in these rooms happens.
