Step 2Contaminated Material Removal
Remove all porous materials per IICRC S500

- Bag and seal all debris per biohazard disposal standards
- Coordinate licensed waste haulers for proper disposal
🧼
Step 3Extraction & Sanitization
EPA-registered disinfectants kill pathogens
- Extract remaining sewage water with truck-mounted pumps
- Pressure wash affected concrete and tile surfaces
- Apply EPA-registered disinfectants (quaternary ammonium, bleach)
- Dwell time per product label ensures pathogen kill
- HEPA air scrubbers capture airborne bacteria during work

Step 4Structural Drying & Deodorization
Dry and eliminate persistent odors
- Commercial dehumidifiers remove moisture from framing and subfloor
- High-velocity air movers accelerate evaporation
- Daily moisture readings ensure complete drying (3-5 days)
- Hydroxyl generators and ozone treatments neutralize sewage odor
- Antimicrobial coatings on framing prevent bacterial growth
