24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Bowling Green, KY
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 water arrive in a basement that has never been wet?
Through the ground rather than from the surface. The limestone under these houses is opened up into channels, so water does not simply soak down where it falls; it moves along those routes and comes up somewhere else. A basement can take water that fell a considerable distance away.
Why did this start after twenty dry years?
Because the route underground can change. Channels in rock silt up, open up or divert after a heavy season, so a house that has never had water can start taking it without anything about the building altering at all. The change is in the ground, not in the foundation.
Does that change how the basement is dealt with?
It changes what can be promised. The building is dried and the wall is dealt with in the usual way, but the source is a route through rock rather than a defect anyone can seal, so the conversation about recurrence is a different one. Managing water inside is usually more realistic than excluding it.
