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

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
Why is the ground behind the house always wet?
Because it was kept as a wetland when the subdivision was built, rather than filled. It is doing what it was preserved to do: holding water. The lots were laid out around it, which puts a number of houses directly alongside.
Can the wet area be drained or filled?
No, and that is rather the point of it. Preserved wetland is protected ground with restrictions attached to the lots around it, so filling, draining or even clearing within the buffer is not something a householder is free to do.
What drainage work is possible on the house side?
Work on the house side of the buffer line: a proper foundation drain taken to an outlet that is not the wetland, and grading within the lot. It is more constrained than a normal site and it is worth knowing where the line is before starting.
