Water Damage Restoration Services
A sewage backup can cause all sorts of problems. It can lead to your basement flooding, mold growth, and health risks as well. A Ukrainian Village resident had a failed ejector pump which led to his home needing major cleaning. After we walked the customer through the water damage restoration process and answered all of his questions, we were able to begin our work.
Tackling Structural Damage Head-On
We began by setting up containments. These are barriers that help us create a controlled environment. Next, we carefully removed baseboards, carpets, and padding. We performed flood-cuts in the affected area due to the presence of sewage. Sewage is one of the most dangerous forms of water to have on your property, so this is important for safety.

Mold Remediation Services
After the initial removal, we moved on to deep cleaning and disinfecting all affected areas. To do so we set up air scrubbers, fans, and dehumidifiers to ensure thorough drying and prevent any long-lasting water damage. The customer was dried out in 4 days, and ready for their reconstruction services to begin.
Drying out the affected area is critical to prevent mold growth. Our experienced team and certified experts also offer mold testing!
