Overview

What is sewage & flood cleanup?

Sewage and flood cleanup is the extraction of category-three water, the removal of contaminated materials and the drying and decontamination of a building flooded by sewage or floodwater.

Category-three water floods a building with bacteria. We extract it, strip what cannot be saved and dry the structure out. It is part of HazRestore's restoration services, carried out by trained, DBS-checked technicians to a clinical standard.

Water damage categories, Category 1 to Category 3The three water-damage categories in the IICRC S500 standard. Category 1 is clean water from a safe source. Category 2, grey water, is significantly contaminated water from an appliance or overflow. Category 3, black water, is grossly contaminated water such as sewage or flood water that is likely to cause illness.Water damage categoriesCategory 1 to Category 3Category 1Clean waterFrom a safe sourcesuch as a supply pipe.Category 2Grey waterContaminated water froman appliance or overflow.Category 3Black waterGrossly contaminated,such as sewage or flood.HazRestore

How much does sewage & flood cleanup cost?
