Contaminated Water Removal in Phoenix

Team SERVPRO Arrives on the Scene Quickly to Dry Out Your Flooded Property
Any moisture building up in the lower levels of your Phoenix home is a problem. The issue becomes more serious when there is evidence that the water is tainted. Some of the contaminants a homeowner may face include chemicals, vermin, animal or human waste. Removing the water and the contamination requires professional advice and assistance.
A sewer backup in your home means a call for expert water removal in Phoenix should be made. Sewers back up for a broad range of reasons. A clog or tree roots may interfere with the drainage of the sewer line into the city’s system. Appliances overflow and during monsoon season flash floods overwhelm the sanitary sewers and force water and contaminants into homes. Proper equipment and a trained work crew are needed to turn these situations around. We have what is required.
The risks of dealing with gray or black water are many. Human waste contains a host of viruses, bacteria, and bloodborne pathogens. Flooding and sewer backups often also contain dead animals or their residue, containing another list of dangerous substances. Landscaping and pool chemicals find their way into homes during flooding, and lower levels themselves hold stores of household chemicals, paints, and other items that could leach into the water that needs removal. The SERVPRO crew assigned to your contaminated water removal project has coursework and experience to guide its approach to the removal.
SERVPRO is familiar with the rules and procedures pertinent to the containment and disposal of contaminated water in our area. This knowledge alone makes calling upon us for advice and help a wise decision. We also have the personal protective clothing and equipment available to ensure the safety of you, your family, and our workers during water removal. Our team uses pumps and water extractors to remove the water and then applies appropriate sanitizing agents to prevent continued concerns about the contaminants as the area dries out.
Once the water is removed, we also offer assistance with inventorying and reviewing any water damaged contents in the previously flooded area. SERVPRO works with you to make informed and intelligent decisions about what to disinfect and dry and what to discard. We may recommend using freeze-drying techniques on essential documents, and then scanning or copying a clean version to keep in case the original is too hazardous to retain.
