24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Norcross, GA
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
Is the pond ornamental or functional?
Functional first. It was built to hold storm water back and release it slowly, and the planting and the fountain came afterward. That matters because the pond is meant to rise several feet in a storm, which people take as a fault.
What stops the pond outlet working?
The outlet structure, which is usually a pipe with a restrictor and a trash rack, and which is generally hidden in planting by now. Leaves against it in November are enough, and the pond then holds a level it was not designed to hold.
Who maintains it?
The association, which is worth checking rather than assuming. These structures need the outlet cleared and the basin dredged at intervals, and an association that has been treating the pond as landscaping has probably not been budgeting for either. The reserve study, where one exists, is the quickest way to find out which of the two applies.
