The Black Water Extraction (Category 3) Process in Picacho, AZ
Septic Tank Backup Cleanup
Septic water carries the same risks as sewage, so it gets the same protective gear, removal and disinfection steps.
Toilet Overflow Water Removal
Toilet water that has spread across a floor is treated as contaminated. It is extracted, and floors, baseboards and lower walls are disinfected.
Storm Sewer Flood Water Removal
After storm sewer flooding, mud and debris are cleared before floors and walls are cleaned, disinfected and dried.
Black Water Drying
Air scrubbers filter the air during drying, which helps with odor and dust from removal work.
Sewage Backup Water Extraction
Sewage backups need extraction because the water carries bacteria and spreads contamination into flooring and walls the longer it sits.
