SERVPRO Understands the Importance Of Proper Disposal of Wastewater After Flooding Takes Place in Your Naples Property

Flood Damage Naples

While pumping water out of a flooded property is a no-brainer, the issue of where to dispose of floodwaters can be a prescient one. Floodwaters, by nature, contain contamination levels. These contamination levels can occur by picking up debris, mud, or herbicides en route to your property in the form of a flash flood. Alternatively, road overflow may lead to the presence of raw sewage in the water intrusion. It is vital that when disposing of water, it is done correctly, legally, and responsibly. 

We are an emergency restorer for flood damage operating here in Naples. Our responsible technicians are trained at the nationally recognized institute of inspection, cleaning, and restoration certifications facility. From there, they pick up experience working in domestic and commercial flood situations performing vital emergency services. On any given job site, a SERVPRO large loss recovery team may include water restoration technicians (WRT) Applied Structural Drying Technicians (ASD) as well as a 30-hour general construction industry training program (OSHA), technicians. 

Pumping water out of a flooded structure is essential to mitigating loss and allowing SERVPRO to conduct a thorough inspection. If road overflow causes flooding, there may be significant amounts of sewage present in basements or crawl spaces. We can enlist subcontractors on your behalf to bring a septic tank pump truck to the site and allow us to pump out sewer waters safely. The disposal of wastewaters during restoration is governed by strict criteria and subject to local or federal regulations. 

Two of the most common methods of water disposal are by using a sanitary sewer system or an open sewer point on site, such as a toilet. Using elongated hoses, our team can direct water from your property to a sanitary sewer system. If we are using portable extraction units, disposal of wastewaters can conveniently be completed on site. SERVPRO promises to thoroughly clean and disinfect any onsite plumbing that is used during an emergency procedure. If neither of the above two methods is applicable, we can bring large wastewater storage trucks to contain moisture until it can be disposed of properly.
