Detailed Black Water Extraction (Category 3) Methods for West Jupiter

Sewage Damage Report for Insurance

Documentation starts before cleanup, with photos of the water level and affected rooms, and continues through final drying.

Sewage Backup Water Extraction

Sewage backups need extraction because the water carries bacteria and spreads contamination into flooring and walls the longer it sits.

Contaminated Carpet Water Extraction

Carpet and pad that absorbed sewage or floodwater cannot be safely cleaned. They are cut out, bagged and removed from the home.

Black Water Drying

Drying comes last in black water work. Drying before contaminated materials are removed would leave contamination in place.

Storm Sewer Flood Water Removal

Water from an overloaded storm sewer or street flooding carries soil, debris and contaminants. It is extracted and the affected areas are cleaned.

Indicators of Category 3 Water Damage in West Jupiter

Discolored Water From Appliances

Dark, smelly water from a washer or dishwasher drain can mean a drain line backup.

Storm Drain Water in Garage

Toilet Overflow Spreading Water

Toilet water spreading across the bathroom floor is treated as contaminated, even if it looks clear.

Wet Carpet With Visible Contamination
