Sewage Backup Cleanup Done at Washington, D.C. Apartment Complex

Recently, a service manager at a large apartment complex in Washington, D.C., contacted us for water damage restoration services. The call came in on a late Sunday afternoon. Purofirst of Metropolitan Washington is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for any emergency needs, so our team responded immediately.

The apartment complex had suffered a significant flooding incident. A sewer had backed up, causing severe sewage flooding in the basement.

The situation was highly critical, so our experienced team mitigated the damage as efficiently and quickly as possible. Here’s how we completed the sewage backup cleanup in Washington, D.C.

A Soppy Sewage Cleanup

We arrived on-site as fast as we could–in less than an hour. Once there, we implemented our plan of action. First, our team assessed the scope of the damage by determining how much murky water had infiltrated the basement.

To do this, we used tools like moisture meters and thermal cameras. After determining the sewage backup’s severity, we began working on a solution.

The sewage in the basement reached a height of six feet. Such a large volume of waste required some heavy-duty equipment, like generators and large-volume sump pumps that could handle a massive influx of water.

We worked tirelessly for 30 hours to get the sewage down to a foot. Only then could we use water extraction machines to finish the job.

Less than a day later, our highly-trained technicians cleaned it up. Thanks to their efforts, there was no residual odor. We completed the project within two days of the initial call.

The management company was thrilled with the results! Our fantastic team did an outstanding job throughout the sewage backup cleanup work.
