24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Dodge City, KS
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 dry river still matter?
Because the channel is still the channel. The flow was taken upstream for irrigation, not removed from the landscape, and the bed, the banks and the floodplain are all still sized for a river. When a large storm falls on the catchment, the water has the same route it always had and arrives at the same places.
How much warning does a dry channel give?
Very little, because the rain that fills it does not necessarily fall here. A storm over the plains upstream sends water down a dry channel under a clear sky, which is what makes these events surprising. Local flood warnings are tied to the catchment rather than to the weather overhead.
What does that mean for a property near it?
That the ground beside a dry channel should be treated as the floodplain it is. That affects where equipment and stored belongings go, whether anything of value sits at the lowest level, and what a household does when a warning is issued rather than when water is seen.
