24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Muncie, IN
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
Why does a door hood leak when the roof does not?
Because it was attached to a wall that was already finished. A roof built with the house has its flashing woven into the covering; a hood added afterward is fixed against siding or brick and sealed along the top. That seal is the only barrier, and it has a life of a few years rather than decades.
What is directly below that junction?
The head of the front door, and the framing around it. Water getting in at the hood runs down inside the wall and arrives at the door head, which is where the wall is weakest and where any damage is most visible. Staining above the door inside is the usual first sign.
What does a proper repair to a door hood involve?
By cutting the cladding back and putting a proper flashing behind it, so water reaching the junction is taken out over the hood rather than held at a bead of sealant. Resealing the top edge is what has already been done several times, which is why it is leaking now.
