Contaminated Water Removal and Restoration Services in Canton
Sewage Backup Water Removal
After a sewage backup, carpet, pad and lower drywall that soaked it up are removed, and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected.
Flooded Basement Cleanup
Basement floods often reach furnaces, water heaters and stored belongings. Items are sorted, and contaminated porous items are discarded.
Toxic Spill Water Removal
Surfaces touched by chemical-laden water are cleaned with products suited to the contaminant before drying.
Black Water Extraction
Black water extraction starts with containment, so contamination is not tracked through the house during cleanup.
Emergency Water Mitigation
Emergency mitigation starts with stopping water use, containing the area and extracting contaminated water right away.
