Contaminated Water Removal FAQs
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.
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.
What are dehumidification services used for after contaminated water?
Drying walls, floors and framing after cleaning, so cleaned surfaces do not stay damp.
What happens during the drying phase after cleanup?
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the cleaned structure, and readings are taken daily until it is normal.
How quickly should black water removal begin?
Right away. Black water spreads bacteria and odor into materials the longer it sits, increasing what must be removed.
