Sewage and Backup Cleaning Services
Suppose a toilet overflows or a sewer floods, the water entering your household is most likely to contain viruses and bacteria, not to mention the foul smell!. Our technicians at STOP Restoration of Portland will provide you with the best industry practices to decontaminate your property. We will start by assessing the water according to the following categories:
1. Clean Water: Drinkable water from taps, bathtubs, etc.
2. Gray Water: Also known as wastewater. It is mildly contaminated and may cause illness.
3. Black Water: This is highly contaminated water that will cause illness.
Clean water, if left untreated, can easily turn into gray and black water. The humid and moist conditions will also welcome mold and bacteria. Microbial growth in these cases can contaminate your belongings and their spores can remain suspended in the air, causing diseases. After analyzing all the conditions, our experts will create an efficient and effective plan to refurbish your home back to its pristine condition.
Extraction and Drying
Once our experts arrive at the water damage site, the first thing they will do is extract the excess water from your property. They will use pro-grade extraction equipment and submersible pumps to pump out water from the building. They will then inspect the remains and determine the damage accordingly. Everything from the carpets, walls, furniture and wooden stuff will be categorized either as things to be replaced, or those to be removed. The technicians will then strategically set up air movers, fans, and dehumidifiers to dry your belongings.
Mold Damage Control
Mold growth is a common consequence of water damage. Mold is a form of naturally occurring fungus that feeds on dead, organic matter, breaking it down. The retained water in your belongings can be enough to provide the ideal environmental conditions for mold growth. If not controlled in time, mold can cause respiratory problems and serious health conditions.
