The Black Water Extraction (Category 3) Process in Anna, TX

Storm Sewer Flood Water Removal

Water from an overloaded storm sewer or street flooding carries soil, debris and contaminants. It is extracted and the affected areas are cleaned.

Sewage Backup Water Extraction

Sewage backups need extraction because the water carries bacteria and spreads contamination into flooring and walls the longer it sits.

Sewage Damage Report for Insurance

Documentation starts before cleanup, with photos of the water level and affected rooms, and continues through final drying.

Black Water Drying

After cleaning and disinfection, air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure, with readings taken daily until each area is normal.

Contaminated Carpet Water Extraction

Once contaminated carpet is out, the subfloor is cleaned, treated and dried before any new flooring goes down.
