Fast mitigation keeps contamination from spreading into clean rooms, ductwork and the floor below.
Gray Water Damage Cleanup
Gray water can carry soap, food and bacteria. If it sits for a day or two, it is treated more like black water.

Surfaces touched by chemical-laden water are cleaned with products suited to the contaminant before drying.
Sewage Water Cleanup
Contaminated materials are bagged and disposed of according to local rules, and the removed items are listed for insurance.
