24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Irvine, 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
What was a springhouse built for?
A small building put over a spring to keep it clean and to use the cold water for storage. Where the house was sited near a reliable spring, which was the usual reason, the structure is still there and the spring is generally still flowing.
What happens when it is abandoned?
The water keeps coming and nobody manages where it goes. The overflow channel that carried it away silts up or is built over, so the flow backs up and finds a new route, frequently toward whatever was built after the springhouse was.
Can a spring be stopped?
Not usefully, and trying tends to make it worse by pushing the water sideways into the ground. The workable approach is capturing it properly and piping it away, which is what the springhouse was doing before it was abandoned. The original channel, where it can still be traced, is generally the right place to put the new pipe.
