24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Kennewick, WA
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
What does the fabric under the rock do?
Keeps weeds down, which is what it is for, and it also sheds a good deal of water. Woven landscape fabric is far less permeable than the ground beneath it, particularly once it silts up, so rain and irrigation run along the top of it.
Where does water on the fabric end up?
At whatever is lowest, which is frequently the foundation. Water traveling across a fabric layer does not soak in where it lands, so it keeps going until it finds a gap or an edge, and the edge nearest the house is the one against the wall.
How is a leak found under a rock yard?
Not by looking, which is the difficulty. There is no green patch and no soft ground because nothing grows and nothing shows, so an irrigation or supply leak under rock is found by metering and pressure testing rather than by walking the garden.
