Sewage Cleanup and Waste Removal Service in Brentwood, TN.
Rising stormwater and burst sewer pipes don’t flood your property with perfectly clean water—in fact, this water is considered to be hazardous “blackwater.” If you experience a burst sewage pipe, hurricane or tornado damage, or industrial flooding, contaminants, chemicals, heavy metals, and other hazardous wastes can double the threat of water damage. These substances can pose a serious health risk to you, your family, or your employees, which means you need a restoration company that makes your health and safety first priority.
At ASDT, our water damage cleanup experts rapidly remove contaminated water and use industry-leading technologies to thoroughly clean and disinfect your property. We understand that a sewage spill can be one of the most unpleasant and concerning situations a home or business owner may face. That’s why we work quickly, safely, and thoroughly to completely remove all traces of the damage with all possible precautions in place.
Three Categories of Water Damage
ASDT is fully equipped to handle all three types of water damage as defined by the IICRC.
Category 1 water, or clearwater, poses the smallest threat of harm to people. Sources of category 1 water damage include water supply lines, rainwater, meltwater, and toilet tank water (as long as there are no contaminants). In these situations, building materials like wet drywall, hardwood flooring, and carpets can be dried and salvaged with no substantial health risks.
Category 2 water, or greywater, poses a threat to people’s health and safety. Greywater is any wastewater that has been used for bathing or showering, washing, or laundering, including water from washing machines, dishwashers, showers, and sinks. This kind of water contains germs, chemicals, fats, oils, and bleaches that can rapidly become septic if left untreated.
Category 3 water, or blackwater, is the most serious category of water damage. Blackwater must be completely eliminated and all materials that came into contact with it must be removed and disinfected thoroughly. Any grossly contaminated water—water from toilets, urinals, sewer systems, or septic tanks—is considered blackwater.
