Contaminated Water Removal and Restoration Services in Owings Mills

Black Water Extraction

Black water, such as sewage or outside floodwater, is extracted with protective gear, and everything it touched is cleaned or removed.

Contaminated Carpet Removal

Contaminated carpet is extracted first to reduce weight and dripping, then removed in sections and disposed of properly.

Sewage Water Cleanup

Sewage water cleanup includes removing soaked materials, disinfecting surfaces and running air scrubbers while work continues.

Flooded Basement Cleanup

Below-grade spaces dry slowly, so dehumidifiers run until the slab and walls test dry after cleaning.

Sewage Backup Water Removal

After a sewage backup, carpet, pad and lower drywall that soaked it up are removed, and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected.
