24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in St. Petersburg, 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.

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
Where does the trouble start with an outdoor kitchen?
At the point the plumbing leaves the house. Getting water out to a patio means a supply line through the wall and a drain running back in, and that penetration is frequently the least considered part of the installation. Water tracking in at it arrives inside the wall rather than on the patio.
Does the drain cause problems too?
Frequently. An outdoor sink has to drain somewhere, and where it was tied into the house waste it is a long shallow run with poor fall. Where it was not, it discharges into the ground beside the patio, which puts water against the slab edge every time the sink is used.
What should be shut off for the season?
The supply to the outdoor fixtures, ideally at a valve inside the house. Even in a climate with no freeze, isolating a line that runs outdoors when the kitchen is not in regular use removes a pressurized pipe from the weather. Few of these have such a valve, and fitting one is straightforward.
