What Black Water Category 3 Cleanup Includes in New Salem
A New Salem 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.
