What Black Water Category 3 Cleanup Includes in Greenleaf
A Greenleaf crew uses meters during black water category 3 cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
Sewage, outside floodwater or a contaminated toilet backup can soak carpet, drywall, insulation, contents and hard surfaces. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.
A plumber stops a broken supply pipe. After the valve closes, a water cleanup crew extracts the water that escaped and checks the walls and floors it reached.
