24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Roselle, IL
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
How does the pond reach the basement?
Through the ground rather than over it. The pond holds storm water at a level close to the depth these basements were dug to, so when it rises the water table around it rises as well, and the foundations nearest it are then below the surrounding water.
Is the pond working properly?
Usually yes, which is the awkward part. It is built to fill during a storm and let the water away slowly afterward, so the rise that wets the basements is the system doing its job. There is nothing to repair and nothing anybody has done wrong.
What is the sensible approach for a basement here?
Drainage and a pump sized for a seasonal rise, and finishes chosen on the understanding that the level outside will come up a few times a year. Treating it as an occasional accident rather than a recurring condition is what leads to the same work twice.
