How Fortville Water Restoration Handles Sewage Cleanup
Every job follows the same three-step process. Transparent, thorough, and done right the first time.
Second Antimicrobial Treatment and Drying Setup
After demolition exposes framing and previously hidden surfaces, second antimicrobial treatment covers newly exposed materials. Drying equipment placed and sized appropriately. Containment maintained throughout the drying period.
Standing Water Extraction
Water extraction equipment removes standing contaminated water. Crews wear protective gear throughout. All wastewater handled per disposal protocols appropriate for Category 3 contamination.
Containment Setup Before Disturbance
Plastic containment barriers established around the affected zone before any disturbance creates aerosolized contamination. Decontamination zone staged for crew entry and exit with proper gear protocols.
Demolition of Unsalvageable Materials
Drywall removed to a defensible height above the flood line. Carpet and padding in the affected zone removed and bagged. Lower wall insulation pulled. Baseboards and untreated wood removed. Stored porous items in the wet zone evaluated and removed if unsalvageable.
Final Inspection and Reconstruction
Visual inspection of all surfaces. Moisture readings confirming drying complete. Treatment records and disposal records packaged. Reconstruction begins with the same Fortville Water Restoration crew: drywall, insulation, flooring, paint, trim. Final walk through with homeowner.
