Sewage Cleanup in Noblesville Indiana

Restorex Disaster Restoration is a local restoration company that helps customers with sewage cleanup services in Noblesville Indiana.  When you have sewage damage in your home or business, it is important to properly remove the contaminants and sanitize the affected areas.

Sewage damage, is a service that is covered by your insurance company.  Our company is able to work with all insurance companies.  We have a lot of experience helping customers navigate the sewage damage claims process.

Below are some common questions our customers ask about their insurance policies.

 

Sewage

“Sewage” is the wastewater that comes from the drains of your house.  This includes your toilets, showers, sinks, dishwasher, and washing machine.  This water has contaminants that normally flow away from your house and into a sewer system.  Eventually, this water would end up at your local sewage treatment facility.

Unfortunately, when a drain line breaks, this sewage can find its way into your living space causing bad smells and can make your home unclean while it is present.  This is why its important that you get the sewage cleaned up quickly and properly.

 

Sewage Water Removal

If you are experiencing a sewage backup in a basement, most likely you have a large amount of sewage water that needs to be removed.  Because of the contaminants and odors, this requires us to use personal protective equipment, such as full faced respirators and nylon protective suits.

We also have a piece of equipment to properly remove sewage water.  This equipment has a large vacuum unit that is attached to a 300 gallon tank.  The vacuum provides the suction required to remove the water from the basement.  Then the water is stored in the tank during the cleanup process.

After the majority of the sewage water is removed from the basement, we will continue to dilute and wash the area with water.

When all of the water and contaminants are removed, we are ready to sanitize the affected areas.

 

Sanitizing Sewage Damage

We use a product called Benefect to sanitize the surfaces that have been affected by sewage.

Benefect is a broad spectrum disinfectant and it surpasses all of the governments germ killing requirements for hospital disinfectants.  The other great benefit of using Benefect is that it has the lowest toxicity level compared to other disinfectant products.

Benefect is a made using plant based essential oils.  These essential oils help plants protect themselves from invading microbes, much like the human body produces antibodies to protect itself.  Therefore, Benefect, is like a plant immune system in a bottle.

We will apply this product to all of the affected areas after the large contaminants and water are removed.

 

Drying after Sewage Removal

After the sewage is removed from the affected area and all the surfaces have been sanitized, the structure now has to be dried back to its original moisture content.

Now, the job becomes a water damage restoration or water mitigation.  First, all of the porous building materials that we affected with sewage would be removed.  This includes carpet, pad, drywall, baseboards etc.  The living space would be stripped down to its structural members.

Then we will set up water damage equipment, to dry the structure so there will be no risk of mold damage.

 

Crawl Space Sewage Cleanup

Crawl spaces are very susceptible to sewage damage because the drain lines for the home typically run through this area.  When there is an issue with waste water drains, the sewage water tend to find its way into the crawl space.  Another issue that arises, is most people do not notice there is an issue until they begin to smell the bad odors.

So when the home owner discovers there is a problem, there is usually a good size pool of sewage water in their crawlspace.  It takes a lot of effort to cleanup sewage in a crawlspace.  Crawl spaces typically do not have a lot of room to maneuver, which can make removing the sewage difficult.

We will start the process by removing the vapor barrier, which will bring out a lot of solids out of the crawl space.  Next, we will begin removing the sewage water that is left behind.  After, the water is removed we will begin to remove some of the containment soil that has been affected by the sewage.  We also apply hydrated lime to the soil to decontaminate it.  Hydrated lime is an essential product used in many waste water treatment processes.

If the sewage water caused the wooden structure in the crawlspace to absorb moisture, then we would set drying equipment for 3 days to dry out the crawlspace before applying hydrated lime and re-installing the vapor barrier.

 

Cost of Sewage Cleanup

For a significant sewage cleanup, you are looking at a cost between 5000 – 8000 dollars.  This would be a grossly contaminated crawlspace or basement.  If a home owner is having one of these situations, we would recommend a insurance claim and to use a professional water damage restoration company.

What if you have a small amount sewage damage from a toilet overflow or a small drain backup?

The cost would be significantly lower.

The cost would range between 1000 – 2000 dollars depending on the severity.  Sometimes these situations don’t justify having a professional restoration company to be involved, but it does require someone to do the dirty work of cleaning up sewage.
