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

Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- 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 does a sewer separation leave behind?
A deep trench that has been dug out and put back. However well it is compacted, refilled ground is looser than the ground around it, and the connection to each house follows the same route, so there is a permeable line running from the street to the building.
Why does loose ground matter?
Because the soil here is tight and water takes the easiest path. Rain that would otherwise sit and slowly soak in finds the refilled trench, runs down it and arrives at the foundation at the point where the service enters. It is a route rather than a leak.
Can anything be done at the house end?
Yes, and it is worth doing because the street is not going to be dug up again. Sealing around the service entry and getting the ground immediately outside it to fall away deals with where the trench delivers, which is the only part within reach.
