Contaminated Water Removal Services in Dover

The pros find whether the water came from a sewer, drain, appliance or outside flood.

Contaminated Water Removal in Dover: Your Questions
When is sewage water cleanup required?
Whenever water carries sewage or other waste, including toilet overflows with waste and sewer backups.
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.
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.
Can microbial growth be avoided after contaminated water damage?
Usually, if contaminated materials are removed and the structure is dried quickly after cleaning.
What is the difference between water extraction and restoration?
Extraction removes the water. Restoration includes cleaning, disinfection, drying and preparing the area for repairs.
