A sewer backup or toilet overflow is more than just a messy inconvenience. The water being discharged from your toilet or entering your home through a sewer drain is likely to contain contaminants like feces, untreated sewage, microbes, toxic chemicals, bacteria and viruses. Exposure to it can cause illnesses, especially among infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems or existing medical conditions. Even water from a clean source – like a leaky faucet or a broken water supply line – can become contaminated if not removed quickly and thoroughly from places where it does not belong. Fast action is needed if serious health problems are to be avoided, but sewer cleanup is not a do-it-yourself job. Elite 1 Restoration’s certified technicians are trained to effectively remove contaminated water and leave your property in pristine condition. They have the professional equipment to do the job right, and they wear heavy duty personal protective equipment while doing it.
What You Can Expect
Elite 1 Restoration has a time-tested process in place that begins with identifying and addressing the cause of the water intrusion. If necessary, we can call on expert subcontractors to make repairs. Debris and sludge are removed and carefully disposed of. Contents that have become soaked are sealed in a bag, so that they can be sanitized off-site. Dirty water is captured with a professional-level wet vac, and then all surfaces that have come into contact with it are cleaned, disinfected and sanitized. The finishing touch: drying with fans and dehumidifiers.
