24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Tonawanda, NY
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.

- 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
Why is the wall along the drive the wet one?
Because that strip takes more water than anywhere else on the property. A shared drive is a paved channel a few feet wide with a wall on each side, and both roofs drain toward it, so the ground there is carrying double what an open side yard would and it has nowhere to spread.
Does the neighbor have the same problem?
Usually, and on the same wall for the same reason. The drive is shared and so is the water, so the building on the other side of it is taking the same load on its own flank. It is worth a conversation, because anything done to the drive affects both.
What changes the situation?
The fall of the paving and where the roofs discharge, both of which are shared decisions. Getting water out of that channel to either end rather than letting it sit against the walls is the whole of it, and it cannot be done from one side alone.
