Rescuing a Baltimore, OH Home Affected by Sewage Backup

Sewage cleanup can be a nightmare. If you find yourself with the unfortunate experience of sewage in your home, it’s important to know that there are experts who can help. PuroClean Water, Fire, and Mold Experts is one such company. We were contacted in February to help a client in Baltimore, OH whose home had been affected by sewage backup.

The disaster occurred in the basement. A period of severe weather in the area had brought heavy rains, which were too much for the sewage drains to handle. Check out how we provided sewage cleanup service to the Baltimore, OH home.

When we arrived at the house, the client was understandably distraught by the situation. He was worried about the potential for water damage, mold growth, and contamination. The client who contacted us was the property’s caretaker, as the homeowner, a relative, was out of state at the time.

Our restoration technicians were able to quickly assess the situation and develop a plan for sewage cleanup. Before they began, they donned personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect themselves from the dangerous sewage water. Sewage is hazardous, as it contains viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.

The crew faced several challenges while performing the sewage cleanup services. First, the basement was large and had a lot of contents. In addition, most of the rooms in the basement had wet carpets and pads. The drywall and paneling were affected by the water, too.

Because this was sewage water, we needed to remove everything that had absorbed the dirty water, including personal items, furniture, carpeting, paneling, and affected drywall. We removed the lower four inches of drywall in the workout room, as well as the carpeting and padding. Our technicians also removed the paneling, which revealed signs of mold growth.

After diligently removing all of the sewage and contaminated materials, we used powerful cleaning and disinfecting equipment to clean and sanitize the entire area. Then, our team deployed state-of-the-art air movers and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry the area and prepare it for reconstruction.

The work took several days to complete. The client was extremely grateful for the quick and professional response from PuroClean Water, Fire, and Mold Experts. He was relieved to know that the home had been properly cleaned and disinfected.
