Specialized Basement Water Extraction for Payson Residents

Basement Sewage Backup Cleanup
After a sewage backup, carpet, pad and lower drywall it touched are removed and bagged, and concrete and framing are disinfected.
Foundation Leak Water Extraction
Water seeping through cracks or the wall-to-floor joint is extracted from the floor, and wet drywall and insulation along that wall are opened up.

Wet belongings are sorted and air scrubbers filter dust and odor while drying continues.
