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

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 sunken room so much worse than the kitchen the leak came from?
Because it is the low point of the whole floor. A room set a step down acts as a basin, so water released anywhere on that level runs into it and stays. The kitchen may only have taken a film while the sunken room has an inch standing in it, and the depth is what damages the covering.
Does the carpet in that room always come out?
Nearly always, because it was standing in water rather than wetted by it. Pad at the low point holds many times its weight and cannot be extracted properly through the covering. It comes out, the floor is dried and read, and the carpet goes back over new pad only if it is worth relaying.
Which season makes this harder?
Both, differently. In winter the step is the coldest part of the room because it is closest to the structure below, so it releases slowly. In July the heaviest rain arrives with the building sealed and cooled, and the low point is the last thing to come down. The step is read separately in either case.
