Why It Matters in Salinas

Black water can carry E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A. Contaminated drywall and carpet cannot be safely cleaned and must be removed, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.

DIY cleanup can spread pathogens such as hepatitis B and C into other rooms. Providers serving Salinas use respirators, protective suits and hospital-grade disinfectants to protect everyone in the building.

The Sewage Cleanup Process

  1. Stop the source Shut off water and call a plumber if the line is still backing up.
  2. Extraction Standing sewage water is pumped and vacuumed out.
  3. Material removal Carpet, padding and drywall that absorbed black water are removed.
  4. Disinfection Every affected surface is cleaned and disinfected.
  5. Drying and mold prevention Dehumidifiers and air movers dry the structure.

Salinas, Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur range from farm communities to coastal homes and remote cabins. Cool, damp coastal conditions mean drying and mold prevention are a key part of cleanup.
