What Emergency 24 Hour Water Cleanup Includes in Massena
A Massena crew uses meters during emergency 24 hour water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
An active overflow or flood that cannot wait for daytime work can soak floors, wall bases, stored goods and rooms below the source. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.
A blocked drain may need a plumbing contractor. Sewage cleanup also needs protective handling, removal of contaminated porous materials and surface cleaning.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
After a sewage backup, porous materials that touched contaminated water usually come out. Remaining surfaces are cleaned before structural drying proceeds.
- Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
- Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
- Photograph floors before moving affected items.
- Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
- Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
