Category 3 Water - A.K.A. Sewage

2/25/2020 (Permalink)

Sewage water that needed removed from a downtown Dallas commercial building.

When Category 3 water damage, aka a sewage backup, hit a downtown Dallas commercial business, SERVPRO of Southwest Dallas was there within the hour to pump out and extract the water / sewage and help mitigate the situation. After the Cat 3 water has been removed, the problem is not yet mitigated however.  Additional steps to remove porous materials, apply antimicrobial agents, clean the affected areas, and decontaminate with additional equipment is necessary.  Equipment like HEPA air scrubbers, ozone machines, and hydroxyl machines are typically used to remove contaminants and dissipate odors.  In addition, it is always recommended that the workers taking on these unenviable tasks wear the proper protective equipment, such as respirators and Tyvek suits.  Don't take this monumental task on alone!  Contact us for any water or sewage, fire, mold, or commercial cleaning needs. 24/7/365.
