24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Glenvar Heights, FL
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.

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 is showing at the bottom of the wall but the roof is the source. How?
Because there is no attic. The roof here is a concrete deck poured into the tie beam, so water that gets through it runs down the inside face of the block rather than dripping into a ceiling space. The first thing anyone sees is a damp line at the base of the room, which is the end of the path.
What has to come off before the wall can be dried?
The furring and the board fastened to it. Block cannot be read through a finish and air cannot reach it, so the inside face is stripped along the wet run. The furring strips are checked separately because they hold water against the masonry, and anything soft is replaced rather than dried and refitted.
Does a concrete roof deck have to be dried too?
Yes, and it is the slowest part of the job. A deck holds a great deal of water and gives it up only from the faces exposed to air, one of which is outside in the sun and the other of which is a finished ceiling. Readings are taken on the deck through openings and it commonly runs a week behind the walls.
