24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Paramus, NJ
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 an insert replacement?
A new window fitted inside the original frame. The old sashes come out, the frame stays, and the new unit is set into it and sealed around. It is quicker and cheaper than a full replacement and it does not disturb the siding or the interior trim, which is why most of these were done that way.
What is the drawback?
Everything outside the new unit is untouched, including the sill and the framing around it. If the original sill was already taking water when the work was done, it still is, now hidden behind a window that looks new. The damage continues with nothing visible to prompt anybody.
How can the old frame be checked?
From outside, at the sill and the bottom corners, with a probe. Soft timber there means the original frame is going whatever the new unit looks like. Paint that keeps failing in the same place and a sill that has darkened are the other signs worth taking seriously.
