Black Water Extraction (Category 3) in Sunnyvale, TX

Black Water Extraction (Category 3) Available in Sunnyvale

Floodwater from outside in Sunnyvale, whether from a storm sewer or rising water, picks up soil, chemicals and sewage on its way into a home. It is handled as Category 3.

Comprehensive Black Water Extraction (Category 3) Solutions in Sunnyvale

Storm Sewer Flood Water Removal

After storm sewer flooding, mud and debris are cleared before floors and walls are cleaned, disinfected and dried.

Contaminated Carpet Water Extraction

Carpet and pad that absorbed sewage or floodwater cannot be safely cleaned. They are cut out, bagged and removed from the home.

Sewage Backup Water Extraction

After a sewer backup, the water is pumped out, solids are removed, and every surface it touched is cleaned and disinfected before drying.

Septic Tank Backup Cleanup

Septic water carries the same risks as sewage, so it gets the same protective gear, removal and disinfection steps.

Black Water Drying

Drying comes last in black water work. Drying before contaminated materials are removed would leave contamination in place.
