This particular loss was a sewage job. A clogged sewage line had overflowed into the basement. First we set up containment where we would be working and walking through the property. Then we used a hose and sump pump to extract and remove the excess water and sewage. Once all of the excess was removed, we were able to walk on the floor to perform sanitary removal. We used scrub brushes on the floor and walls to further enhance the effect the cleaning process. After that we sprayed down and extracted again with fresh water. To sanitize the area we used Benefect solution. This product is ideal for restoration contractors to disinfect any hard, non-porous surface such as contaminated water damaged construction materials. It also controls and inhibits odor caused by water-born bacteria, mold, other odor-causing organisms on a variety of porous and semi-porous materials. To complete our services we placed drying equipment to effectively dry the area and combined that with Hepa 500 Air Scrubbers to eliminate any airborne odor that may still be lurking.
