24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Huntingtown, MD
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 is the buried loop for?
Heating and cooling. A ground-source heat pump circulates fluid through several hundred feet of pipe buried in the garden, taking heat out of the ground in winter and putting it back in summer. On lots this size it was a sensible thing to install.
What happens if the loop leaks?
The system loses pressure and stops working properly, and the fluid goes into the ground. That fluid is usually an antifreeze solution rather than plain water, so a leak is a contamination question as well as a repair, particularly where there is a well on the property.
How is a leak located in a buried loop?
By pressure testing the circuits one at a time rather than by digging, which is why it is worth knowing how the loop was laid out. Where the installation records survive, the search is hours; where they do not, it can mean opening the whole lawn.
