Contaminated Water Removal Services in The Lakes
Toxic Spill Water Removal
Surfaces touched by chemical-laden water are cleaned with products suited to the contaminant before drying.
Emergency Water Mitigation
Help is available any hour, because contaminated water spreads bacteria and odor into more materials the longer it sits.
Sewage Backup Water Removal

Both Residential & Commercial Contaminated Water Removal in The Lakes

Contaminated Water Removal FAQs
What should be done while waiting for contaminated water removal?
Stop water use, keep people and pets away, shut off power to wet areas if safe and take photos.
Is wet carpet removal always necessary after contaminated water?
For sewage and floodwater, yes. For gray water caught quickly, carpet may sometimes be cleaned, but pad is replaced.
Is it safe to stay home during contaminated water cleanup?
Often yes, if the work area is contained and you stay out of it. People with health concerns may prefer to stay elsewhere.
What is involved in sewage backup cleanup?
Containing the area, extracting the sewage, removing soaked carpet and drywall, disinfecting surfaces and drying.
Can gray water damage cleanup wait?
Not for long. Gray water left for a day or two can turn into black water and need more removal.
