Category 3 Water calls for Tyvek suits and masks.

This home in Cincinnati was flooded with sewage when torrential rains caused the city storm drains to overflow. SERVPRO of Warren County was at the scene to help out local franchises that were inundated with jobs. There was sewage and debris scattered about and our crew was suited up in tyvek suits, gloves and masks to ensure their health and well being was protected. The crew had to remove most of the contents from the garage and basement of this home due to the category 3 water that had saturated the items. Several hours were spent hauling out furniture and trash as well as mopping up sewage and wiping down hard surfaces. When all the mess was cleaned up, we then sprayed the area with antimicrobial in order to sanitize everything. The customer was very happy to have someone else take some of the burden of their loss away.
