The Calgary Water Damage Restoration Process

Restoring a property after a backup requires a disciplined, multi-stage approach:

1. Immediate Site Containment: We isolate the affected zone to prevent cross-contamination to clean areas of your property.
2. Removal of Biohazardous Water: We extract all liquid waste and solids using specialized equipment designed for "Category 3" water.
3. Controlled Demolition: We remove "non-salvageable" porous materials that have absorbed sewage, such as padding and drywall.
4. Deep Sterilization: Our team scrubs and disinfects all "salvageable" hard surfaces (concrete, studs, etc.).
5. Thermodynamic Drying: We monitor moisture levels daily to ensure the building’s structure is completely dry before repairs begin.
6. Final Sanitization & Deodorization: A final round of fogging or air scrubbing to ensure a fresh, clean environment.
7. Rebuild & Handover: We restore the aesthetics of your home, ensuring it looks as if the backup never occurred.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common causes of a sewer backup?

‍Backups are typically caused by grease or "flushable" wipe clogs, invasive tree roots in sewer lines, or municipal system overflows during heavy Calgary storms.

Is it safe to clean up a sewer backup myself?

‍No. Sewage is classified as "Category 3" water, containing high levels of harmful pathogens. Professional protective gear and specialized disinfectants are required for safety.

How quickly can your team arrive?

‍We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch and can typically have a crew at your Calgary location within the hour to begin extraction.

Does my insurance cover sewage backup?

‍Most homeowners' policies have a specific "Sewer Backup" rider. We can help you review your policy and provide the documentation required by your adjuster.

How do you know when the area is truly clean?

‍We use moisture meters to confirm dryness and can perform microbial swab testing to verify that all harmful bacteria have been eradicated.

What happens to my furniture and belongings?

‍Items that are porous (like rugs or sofas) that come into direct contact with sewage usually must be discarded for health reasons. Hard surfaces can often be saved through deep sterilization.

Can a backwater valve prevent this in the future?

‍Yes. We can provide recommendations for preventative measures, such as installing a backwater valve, to protect your property from future municipal overflows.
