Q&A
How do you handle sewage backup damage in San Diego homes?
Sewage backups are a serious health risk, and we follow strict IICRC and EPA protocols. Our team first contains the area, then removes all contaminated materials and sanitizes the space with hospital-grade disinfectants. We use HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers to capture airborne pathogens. Since Nathan co-authored an EPA paper on raw sewage removal, we ensure every step meets regulatory standards. We also coordinate with your insurance and can handle the full reconstruction, from drywall to flooring, so your home is safe and restored.
What does your mold remediation process include?
We start with a certified mold inspection to identify the type and extent of contamination. Then we isolate the affected area using negative air pressure and plastic barriers. We remove moldy materials (drywall, insulation, carpet) and clean all surfaces with antimicrobial treatments. Finally, we run a post-remediation clearance test to confirm the air is safe. We’ve been doing this since 1987 and follow IICRC standards. Our work comes with a 10-year warranty on any reconstruction we do after remediation.
Do you handle biohazard cleanup for residential properties?
Yes, we provide biohazard cleanup for scenarios like sewage backups, unattended deaths, or chemical spills. Our technicians are trained in OSHA and EPA guidelines for handling bloodborne pathogens and hazardous materials. We use PPE, proper disposal methods, and industrial-grade cleaning agents to decontaminate the area. Because Nathan has deep experience with raw sewage and hazardous materials, we approach every job with the seriousness it requires. We also assist with insurance paperwork and can restore the affected rooms afterward.
