24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Claremont, NH
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 does a penstock do?
The pipe that carries water from an intake above the falls down to the turbines below. It runs under considerable pressure because the head is what produces the power, and here it passes through ground that is now built up.
Why is that different from a canal?
Because of the pressure. Water in an open canal leaks gently; water in a penstock is under a head of many feet, so a failure releases with force and volume, and it does so at whatever point the pipe has weakened.
Is the system still in use?
In many of these towns, yes, which is worth knowing. Small hydro at old mill sites has been recommissioned in a good many places, so what looks like an industrial relic can be live plant with water in it under pressure.
