Water Damage Restoration
Sewer Backup Restoration - Residential Bungalow, St. James
The Challenge
A complete sewer backup flooded the basement of a 1960s bungalow with Category 3 (sewage-contaminated) water. Drywall, insulation, flooring, and contents were all affected. The homeowner had recently renewed their policy and the adjuster needed rapid documentation.
Our Approach
Our team arrived within 90 minutes of the emergency call. We performed immediate extraction of contaminated water, removed all Category 3 affected materials, set up containment, and began antimicrobial treatment. A moisture map was completed within 4 hours and shared with the insurance adjuster.
The Outcome
Full structural drying was achieved in 6 days - within the insurer's target window. All mould testing post-remediation returned clean. The homeowner received a full insurance settlement and was back in their home within 3 weeks of the initial event.
