Complete Black Water Extraction (Category 3) Protocols in Aurora

Flooded Basement Sewage Cleanup

Below-grade spaces dry slowly, so after cleaning and disinfection, dehumidifiers run until walls and slab test dry.

Storm Sewer Flood Water Removal

Water from an overloaded storm sewer or street flooding carries soil, debris and contaminants. It is extracted and the affected areas are cleaned.

Contaminated Carpet Water Extraction

Carpet and pad that absorbed sewage or floodwater cannot be safely cleaned. They are cut out, bagged and removed from the home.

Sewage Backup Water Extraction

After a sewer backup, the water is pumped out, solids are removed, and every surface it touched is cleaned and disinfected before drying.

Sewage Damage Report for Insurance

Documentation starts before cleanup, with photos of the water level and affected rooms, and continues through final drying.

Symptoms That Require Black Water Extraction (Category 3) in Aurora

Wet Carpet With Visible Contamination

Carpet with brown staining, debris or a sewage smell has absorbed contaminated water and must be removed.

Discolored Water From Appliances

Dark, smelly water from a washer or dishwasher drain can mean a drain line backup.

Storm Drain Water in Garage

Water that flowed into the garage from the street or storm drain carries soil and contaminants.

Sewer Line Backup in Home

Several drains gurgling or backing up at once usually means the main sewer line is blocked.

How Black Water Extraction (Category 3) Works in Aurora

Step 1: Site Safety Containment

Plastic sheeting seals the work area, and air pressure is controlled to keep odors in.

Step 2: Sewage Removal and Extraction

Wastewater is pumped and extracted, and contaminated carpet, pad and drywall are bagged.

Step 3: Cleaning and Disinfection

Remaining framing, concrete and hard surfaces are scrubbed clean and then disinfected.

Step 4: Moisture Mapping and Documentation

Readings are taken across the area, and photos and logs are kept for insurance.

Common Sources of Category 3 Water Damage in Aurora

Groundwater Infiltration

Groundwater seeping into damaged sewer lines can overload them and cause backups.

Sewer Main Line Blockage

Tree roots, grease and debris block the main sewer line and push wastewater back into the home.

An overloaded municipal sewer can back up into homes during heavy rain.

Improper Waste Disposal

Flushing wipes, grease and other items that do not break down leads to clogs and backups.
