How does Casa de Oro's climate affect this service?
Casa de Oro hillside neighborhoods along the SR-94 corridor run on 1970s-80s tract stock, slab-on-grade construction with under-slab copper now in the prime slab-leak window. Winter canyon runoff also produces seasonal hillside-drainage water damage on the steeper lots.. East County sewage cleanup includes both main-line backups in older Santee and El Cajon stock and septic-system overflows in unincorporated areas.
Can I clean up sewage myself?
Strongly recommend you don't. Black water carries E. coli, hepatitis A, salmonella, parasites, and other pathogens. Without respirator-grade PPE and proper containment, you risk illness and you spread the contamination to areas you don't realize you've touched. Call us, then leave the area until we arrive.
What gets thrown out?
Anything porous that the sewage touched: carpet, pad, drywall up to two feet above the contamination line, fiberglass insulation, particleboard, paper-faced ceiling tiles, fabric upholstery and mattresses. Hard non-porous materials (tile, metal, sealed concrete, finished wood) can be cleaned and sanitized in place. Some semi-porous items (dimensional lumber, hardwood floors) can be saved with proper drying and antimicrobial treatment.
