Sewage Flooded Basement in Nutley

When floodwaters back up the sewer system in a Nutley neighborhood, the Before Photo can be the result. This Black Water, the term for contaminated water filled with fecal matter, debris, soil, chemicals, and pathogenic organisms, requires professional cleanup and disinfecting. Fortunately, SERVPRO of Nutley / Bloomfield has the skilled technicians trained in hazardous waste cleanup. Our crew can don PPE personal protective equipment from helmet and respirator down to rubber boots and gloves to safely grapple with this unpleasant situation. We can use various hand tools like squeegees and mops and buckets, along with HEPA filtered air scrubbers and an LGR dehumidifier to arrive at the After Photo. The non-salvageable sheetrock was discarded, and the framing and tile floor was treated with a strong antimicrobial product. We take pride in delivery a safe and secure home back to our customers. "Like it never even happened."
