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

Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- 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
What is the ledge at the bottom of the brick?
Part of the slab. The floor was poured with a turned-down edge and a shelf formed into it to carry the weight of the masonry, so there is a concrete step running round the building under the brick. Anything draining down the back of that wall arrives on it.
Where is it supposed to go from there?
Out through openings left in the bottom course. That is the whole design: water gets behind brick, runs down and leaves at the ledge. When those openings are blocked by mortar or by landscaping built up against the wall, the water has nowhere to go and stands on the shelf instead.
What does standing water on the ledge reach?
The bottom plate of the wall above it and the edge of the slab itself. That is the lowest timber in the building and it is being fed from the outside, so the damage starts there and works up, and the room inside reads dry at hand height while the base is wet.
