SERVPRO Helps Flooded Tri-Level Home

Proper Drying Equipment Placed After Water Damage

A backed-up sewer line caused this tri-level basement and attached garage in Waukesha, WI to flood.  Due to the graphic nature of this loss, we are showing this picture which is what the recreation room looked AFTER the contents were moved out, the laminate floor removed, the contaminated drywall wall cut out and the floor cleaned and disinfected.

When a sewage back-up occurs, anything that is porous (soaks up moisture) must be considered non-salvageable.  Non-porous materials (such as plastic) can be cleaned and disinfected as well as structural items that can not be removed.  If this contamination is not removed and the structure disinfected, it could lead to people getting sick.

Contact SERVPRO of SW Waukesha County for all your water damage and sewage back-up needs.  We have certified water restoration technicians available to assist you to make sure that your home or business is cleaned and disinfected properly.  262-542-0900.
