Contaminated Water Removal FAQs
What is the process for toxic spill water removal?
The area is made safe, the water is removed without spreading it and surfaces are cleaned with suitable products. Large spills may need a hazmat contractor.
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.
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.
What is the difference between water extraction and restoration?
Extraction removes the water. Restoration includes cleaning, disinfection, drying and preparing the area for repairs.
How does emergency water mitigation help prevent mold?
Removing contaminated water and materials quickly and drying the structure keeps microbial growth from starting.
