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

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 under the downtown?
Fill placed over what were tidal flats, and beneath that a confined aquifer. The water in that aquifer is under pressure, which is why there are artesian wells here that flow without pumping, and it is pressing up under the fill.
Does that change what a sump is doing?
It changes what it is fighting. A pump dealing with rain that has soaked down eventually wins; one dealing with water being pushed up from below is working against a source that does not stop, so it runs continuously rather than cycling.
How can the two be told apart?
By when it runs. Surface water follows the rain with a delay of hours to days; artesian pressure is steady and largely indifferent to the weather. A sump that runs just as hard in August as in November is telling you which it is.
