Contaminated Water Removal and Restoration Services in Jackson
Black Water Extraction
Porous materials soaked by black water usually cannot be cleaned safely, so they are bagged and removed before drying.
Sewage Water Cleanup
Contaminated materials are bagged and disposed of according to local rules, and the removed items are listed for insurance.
Flooded Basement Cleanup
Basement floods often reach furnaces, water heaters and stored belongings. Items are sorted, and contaminated porous items are discarded.
Toxic Spill Water Removal
Larger chemical or fuel spills may need a hazardous materials contractor. The pros handle the water damage once the area is safe.
