A backup is contaminated water that needs professional cleanup. The City of Converse website has a sewer and wastewater section and bills water, sewer and garbage service, and the cleanup inside the building is a separate job from any drain repair. Odor, staining and bacteria stay behind if only the visible mess is cleaned, so the cleanup goes past what can be seen.
What a backup contaminates
- Carpet and pad, which are usually discarded
- Drywall and baseboards near the floor
- Tile grout and subfloor seams
- Cabinets and furniture that sat in the water
Hard surfaces can usually be cleaned, while soft materials rarely can.
Sewage is contaminated water, and soft materials that touch it usually have to go.
(888) 926-4485Reach the cleanup crew in ConverseHow the cleanup runs
The crew wears protective gear, extracts the contaminated water and removes porous materials. Surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, and structural drying follows once the contaminated materials are out. Subfloor seams, baseboards and wall bottoms are inspected because contaminated water settles there.
Find the main shut-off now
Locate the main water valve before a leak and check that it turns freely. Closing it early is the cheapest way to limit water damage.
Drain repair and cleanup
