Comprehensive Black Water Extraction (Category 3) Solutions in Melissa

Sewage Backup Water Extraction

Photos, moisture readings, a list of removed materials and drying logs are compiled into a report for your insurance claim.

Septic Tank Backup Cleanup

When a septic system backs up into the house, wastewater is extracted, contaminated materials are removed and the area is disinfected.

Black Water Drying

Air scrubbers filter the air during drying, which helps with odor and dust from removal work.
