24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Southaven, MS
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
Water came in at the door line after a spring storm. What comes up?
The flooring and pad across the wet area, which is mapped with a meter rather than by the visible line. Water entering at a door sill runs along the slab under the floor covering and reaches well inside the room. The slab is then dried exposed, and the base trim stays off until the wall bottom reads dry as well.
The water came in from the yard. Is that a drying problem or a drainage one?
It is both, and only one of them is fixed by equipment. The wet flooring and slab are dried and read as normal. But with nearly 60 inches a year, water reaching a door sill usually means grade or downspouts are sending it there, and if that is not addressed the same floor takes water again. The drying finishes the loss; it does not finish the cause.
Does 59 inches of rain a year change how a house is dried?
It changes the starting point more than the method. Heavy annual rainfall and no freezing month mean the ground around the slab stays wet and the outdoor air rarely helps, so drying is done closed up with dehumidification. It also means drainage faults show up quickly, and a loss at the slab edge is worth understanding before the floor goes back.
