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

- 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 would watering the lawn affect the floor?
Because it is the only water the ground gets. With very little rain, the soil under the middle of a slab stays dry while the soil at the perimeter is watered several times a week, and clay swells when it is wet, so the edges of the floor are being lifted.
What does that look like inside?
Cracking and lifting that runs around the plan rather than across it, with doors binding at the outside walls and the middle of the house sitting lower. It is the reverse of what people expect, which is usually a middle that has dropped.
Does that change what a slab leak does?
It does, because a leak adds water where there has never been any. A failure under the middle of a floor in ground this dry swells clay that has been shrunken for years, and the movement that follows is often larger than the water damage itself.
