What is Commercial Sewage Cleanup and Why is it Important?

Sewage spills, whether from pipe bursts, backups, or flooding, contain hazardous contaminants that can impact indoor air quality, damage structural materials, and threaten health. Known as a Category 3 water loss, sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and chemicals that make it highly dangerous. Swift, professional cleanup is essential to protect occupants and prevent extensive property damage. Commercial sewage cleanup in San Diego involves specialized processes to ensure complete decontamination and safety.

Our Commercial Sewage Cleanup Process in San Diego

At DRC Restoration, we adhere to strict industry standards, using advanced equipment and IICRC-certified protocols to handle Category 3 water cleanup safely and effectively. Here’s how we approach each commercial sewage cleanup in San Diego:

01. Assessment and Containment

Our certified technicians assess the extent of the sewage contamination, identifying all affected areas and materials. We establish containment zones to prevent the spread of airborne pathogens and contaminants, using negative air pressure when needed. This immediate containment is crucial to protect unaffected areas of your property and to maintain indoor air quality during the cleanup process.

02. Water Extraction and Proper Disposal

At DRC Restoration, we adhere to IICRC S520 standards for mold remediation, ensuring every step of our process meets the highest safety and regulatory standards. For industries where mold impacts client health and safety—like healthcare and hospitality—compliance with these standards is essential. Our team’s commitment to certified practices provides peace of mind that your property is being restored with the utmost care and professionalism.

03. Air Filtration with Carbon Filters

To ensure clean air during the cleanup, we utilize air scrubbers equipped with carbon filters. These filters trap airborne contaminants and neutralize odors, creating a safer environment for workers and occupants. Air filtration is particularly important in confined commercial spaces where pathogens and odor-causing molecules could otherwise linger.

04. Removal of Contaminated Materials

In a Category 3 water situation, materials like carpeting, drywall, and insulation often become unsalvageable. Our team carefully removes all contaminated materials, following IICRC protocols for safe handling and disposal. Removing these items is essential to prevent future mold growth and maintain structural integrity.

05. Sanitization and Decontamination

After all contaminated materials are removed, we thoroughly sanitize all affected surfaces using EPA-approved disinfectants. This step ensures that all bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens are effectively neutralized, creating a safe, hygienic environment. Special attention is given to high-risk areas to ensure comprehensive sanitization.

06. Structural Drying and Dehumidification

Excess moisture left after water extraction can lead to mold growth if not properly managed. Our team uses industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry remaining moisture in walls, floors, and structural components, preventing further damage and ensuring a stable environment for future use.

07. Final Inspection and Restoration

Once the area is dry and sanitized, we conduct a final inspection to confirm that all contamination has been removed. We then proceed with repairs and restoration, bringing your property back to a safe, functional state.
