24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Sparks, 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 does setting a levee back mean?
Moving the embankment away from the channel so the river has room to spread in a large event. It reduces the height the water reaches overall, and it does that by allowing the land between the channel and the new line to flood.
Does that make properties safer or less safe?
Both, depending on where they are. Those behind the new line are better protected than they were; those in the widened corridor are now in ground that is expected to take water. The line's position is the whole question. Knowing which side of the new line a property sits on is the single most useful piece of information.
What actually drives the river here?
Warm storms on mountain snow rather than rain in the valley. The city gets very little precipitation, so the events that matter are rain-on-snow in the Sierra, and they can arrive with nothing much falling on the streets at all.
