About contaminated water cleanup in Richmond Hill

Not all water is equal. Restoration professionals commonly describe water in three categories: clean water from a supply line, grey water that contains some contaminants (such as from a dishwasher or washing machine), and black water that is grossly contaminated (such as sewage or outside flood water). The category affects how cleanup should be done and which materials can be saved.

Our contaminated water cleanup service in Richmond Hill handles grey and black water situations with appropriate protective equipment, containment and cleaning procedures. We remove water and affected materials, clean and disinfect surfaces, and dry the area. We also remember that clean water can become contaminated over time if it sits, which is another reason to address any water damage promptly.
