Sewage Cleanup Charlemont

Sewage cleanup can be a major hassle for both residential and commercial properties. Let us manage the mess so you don’t have to!

Understanding sewage cleanup

Sewage damage in Charlemont can result from several factors, such as heavy rain putting excess pressure on plumbing systems, clogs in the plumbing or main waste lines, ruptured pipes, or faulty fixtures like toilets. 

These conditions often bring a high risk of contamination. Swift action is needed to begin mitigation and cleanup, preventing extensive damage to your Charlemont property.

The sewage cleanup process

1.⁠ ⁠Seek professional help

Professional cleanup services are recommended due to the high contamination risk. Kleen-Tech provides sewage cleanup services in Charlemont, following IICRC guidelines to ensure safe remediation.

2.⁠ ⁠Prioritise safety

Safety is crucial due to the presence of harmful pathogens and bacteria. Use PPE like non-porous coveralls, gloves, masks, and boots to minimise exposure.

3.⁠ ⁠Contain the area

Limit the spread of contaminants by isolating the affected areas. This may involve addressing plumbing issues or redirecting overflow to protect unaffected spaces.

4.⁠ ⁠Removal of contaminants

Extract any standing water and bulk debris. Double-bag non-salvageable materials to ensure safe disposal. Kleen-Tech handles off-site disposal of contaminated materials.

5.⁠ ⁠Santise affected areas

A multi-step sanitisation process is needed. Start with anti-bacterial treatments and steam cleaning, followed by a detailed cleaning process to ensure complete removal of contaminants.

6.⁠ ⁠Installation of mitigation drying equipment

Set up air movers and dehumidifiers to dry out the space and prevent mould growth. These units should run for several days, with moisture testing conducted to confirm dryness. 

7.⁠ ⁠Second and further sanitising treatments

To ensure a complete cleanup, Kleen-Tech conducts multiple sanitising treatments to eliminate all contaminants from the property.

8. Assessment

Prepare a detailed report outlining the next steps, such as repairs or additional inspections. This helps in insurance claims and informs future work needed.
