24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Miamisburg, OH
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.

- 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 does the sink overflow rather than the machine?
Because a washer empties faster than a household drain expects. The pump discharges thirty gallons in a couple of minutes, and a trap narrowed by years of lint cannot pass it at that rate. The sink fills, then goes over the rim, and the machine has no way of knowing anything is wrong.
What gets damaged in a basement loss like this?
Whatever is on the floor and the bottom few inches of anything standing on it. The water spreads across a concrete slab rather than soaking in, so it reaches the whole room. Boxes, shelving and the base of any finished wall take it, and the floor itself then gives moisture back for days.
Is there a better arrangement than the sink?
A standpipe with its own trap, sized for a washer, is what the discharge should go to. Where the sink stays, keeping the trap clear and fitting a lint catch on the hose makes a real difference. The machine is not the problem; what it empties into is.
