Emergency
Sewage Backup Cleanup in Evergreen, CO
Porous material that has touched it is not dried, it is removed. That single rule is what makes this the dearest water loss at any volume. Category is a pricing rule before it is anything else. Porous material that has been in contact with sewage is removed and replaced rather than dried and returned, which converts what would have been equipment days into demolition, disposal and rebuild across the affected area - the same volume of water, a far larger scope.

Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
The cheapest stage of a water loss, and the one that decides how expensive the rest of it gets. Standing water is removed before it moves into the structure.
- Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion
The lowest point in the house is usually the most finished. That combination is what makes below-grade water the most expensive square footage on the estimate.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Units times days, ending on a measured reading. The most checkable line on a water estimate, and the alternative to cutting material out.
Frequently asked questions
Why are there so many machines for a small wet area?
Because the drying system works on a volume of air, not on a patch of floor. An open plan with a vaulted ceiling has no wall to seal against, so the equipment has to hold the whole space at a drying condition. The unit count follows the house rather than the size of the spill.
The beams got wet. Do they have to come out?
Almost never, and that is worth knowing early. Solid structural timber dries, slowly, and it is usually monitored rather than removed. That extends the job and the visit count while keeping it out of the rebuild figure entirely, which is nearly always the cheaper of the two outcomes.
Can the drying area be reduced to save money?
Sometimes, by building temporary containment rather than by using fewer machines. Sealing off part of an open plan with sheeting shrinks the volume the equipment has to hold, and the containment costs less than the extra units would. Ask whether the estimate assumes containment or simply more equipment.
