Waco Area -Sports Retailer

Sewage is gross, let us handle the cleanup.

After a couple of days of heavy rain, we were contacted by a local sports retailer regarding a drain backup. Upon inspection of the bathroom, we noted that sewage had come up out of the floor drains. This created unsanitary conditions (and it didn’t smell very nice) so it was necessary for the retailer to close the restrooms to their customers until the issue was remedied. We wanted to get these folks access to the bathrooms as soon as possible so we quickly donned appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and got to work extracting the pooled sewage from the tiled floor. Once extracted, our crew followed up with steam sterilization of the floor and an antimicrobial was applied. 

According to the CDC, steam sterilization is the most widely used and most dependable method of sterilization. The use of moist heat in the form of saturated steam is nontoxic, inexpensive and should be utilized on all critical and semi-critical surfaces that are heat and moisture resistant.
