Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and fungi that pose serious health risks. Our IICRC-certified technicians arrive within 60 minutes with industrial-grade equipment to contain and extract the contaminated water.
We begin with a comprehensive moisture mapping and thermal imaging inspection to identify all affected areas. Sewage can wick into drywall, baseboards, and subflooring, creating hidden reservoirs of contamination. Using psychrometric monitoring, we track humidity levels to ensure complete drying.
Extraction involves powerful truck-mounted vacuum units that remove standing sewage and solids. Our team wears full PPE (Level B suits, respirators) and follows OSHA bloodborne pathogen protocols. We then apply EPA-registered disinfectants and antimicrobial agents to all surfaces.
Once disinfected, we set up negative air pressure containment to prevent cross-contamination. Commercial-grade air scrubbers with HEPA filters capture airborne particles. We also utilize hydroxyl generators to eliminate odors at the molecular level without masking.
Structural drying requires strategic placement of LGR dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers. We monitor moisture levels daily using penetrating meters and thermal hygrometers until target dryness is achieved. This prevents mold growth and secondary damage.
Finally, we perform a post-remediation verification including ATP swab testing to confirm biological cleanliness. We coordinate with your insurance adjuster, providing detailed documentation and direct billing to minimize your stress.
Preventive tips: Install a backflow prevention valve, avoid flushing non-biodegradable items, and have your sewer line inspected annually with a camera. Grease buildup and tree root intrusion are common causes in older Gresham neighborhoods.
Our advanced techniques include hydro-jetting to clear blockages and trenchless pipe repair for damaged lines. We also offer antimicrobial fogging for HVAC systems exposed to sewage aerosols.
In Gresham, heavy rains can overwhelm municipal sewers, causing backups. Our team stays on standby 24/7 for emergency calls. We serve all neighborhoods including Rockwood, East Gresham, and the downtown area.
Sewage cleanup is not a DIY job. Improper handling can lead to chronic illness, structural decay, and legal liability. Trust our certified experts to restore your property safely and efficiently.
