24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Florence, 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.

Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Mold Remediation
Growth and the material it grew into come out under containment, what remains is cleaned, and the assembly is dried and read before anything closes it in.
Frequently asked questions
How can two houses on one street be so different?
Because one is standing on the original hillside and the other on what used to be a ravine. The grading took the tops down and pushed them into the hollows, so within a single block there are lots on solid cut ground and lots on twenty feet of fill.
Does water still follow the old hollow?
It does, under the ground. The ravine was filled but the drainage course it carried did not go anywhere, so water moving down the hillside still travels along that buried line and arrives beneath whatever was built on top of it.
How would anyone know which they are on?
The lie of the surrounding land usually tells it, and the county's old contour maps settle it. It is worth knowing before spending on drainage, because the right answer for a house on cut ground is not the right answer for one on fill.
