Hull & East Yorkshire
Black water is the most contaminated category, from sewage backups and floodwater. It is a genuine health risk and needs handling by people set up to do it safely.
Black water carries bacteria and waste, from a sewage backup, a burst soil pipe or floodwater that has mixed with drains and the ground. It is not a job for a mop and bucket. It needs safe removal, disposal of soaked materials, thorough sanitising and proper drying.
Porous materials that black water has touched, carpet, underlay, plasterboard low down, cannot be cleaned back to safe and are removed. We record it all for your claim.
When Hull floods, the water rising into homes is contaminated black water, not clean rain. We treat it as a health risk and clean to that standard.
The most contaminated category, from sewage, soil pipes and floodwater mixed with drains and ground. It is a real health risk.
Porous materials soaked by black water cannot be sanitised back to safe, so they are removed and recorded rather than dried.
Keep away from the affected area until it is cleaned and sanitised. We contain the area and make it safe as quickly as we can.
