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

- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
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
What are the stone fences doing here?
They were the field boundaries, laid dry without mortar generations ago and left when the land was developed. Some still stand as features and others were graded over, but the stone itself did not go anywhere and it is still in the ground.
How does a stone wall affect drainage?
It carries water. A course of loose stone with no mortar in it is far more permeable than the clay around it, so water moving through the ground finds it and travels along it, sometimes for a considerable distance, before coming out somewhere unexpected.
How would anyone know one is buried there?
From the line rather than the ground. A wet streak that runs dead straight across a lawn, and continues in the same line through the neighbors' yards, is the signature, and old property plats show exactly where the field boundaries used to be.
