Sewage Cleaning

When your home is contaminated by sewage waste, a threat to you and your family’s health exists because this type of loss contains pathogenic agents that create an unhealthy environment.

• Prevent Further Spreading: Implement appropriate procedures to prevent further spreading of contaminants such as isolating affected areas
• Establish Drying Strategy: Take psychrometric measurements to establish drying strategy to be followed
