24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Carson City, NV
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 a rain-on-snow event?
Warm rain falling on a snowpack that is already lying. The rain melts the pack as it passes through it, so the water reaching the ground is the rain plus a good part of the snow, arriving in a few hours instead of over the weeks the melt would have taken.
Why does none of it soak in?
Because the ground underneath is frozen. Soil that would normally absorb a winter storm is sealed, so everything released runs across the surface to the lowest thing it can find, which around these houses is a window well or a below-grade doorway.
Does the roof need watching too?
It does, and this is the one event that makes it urgent. A snow load that has been sitting comfortably for weeks can double in weight in an afternoon as it takes up rain, so clearing a heavily loaded roof before the warm front arrives is worth doing.
