24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Pierre, SD
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
Why does the river come up when it has not rained?
Because it is being released. The level here is set by what the dam upstream is passing, and those decisions are driven by the snowpack and the runoff across an enormous basin, most of which is hundreds of miles away and in a different state.
How long does a high release last?
Weeks, and sometimes a whole season. This is not a storm rise that peaks and falls; it is a managed level held while the reservoir is drawn down, so the ground water alongside it stays up for as long as the release continues.
Is there any way to see it coming?
Yes, and it is one of the few situations where there genuinely is. Release schedules and forecasts are published well ahead, so a household near the river can know weeks in advance that a wet spell is coming and get a pump and drainage ready.
