It's an embarrassing and dangerous situation. A toilet overflows, and suddenly your bathroom is flooded with contaminated water. In St. Peters, MO, this happens more often than you think due to clogged lines or municipal sewer backups.
Why It's Not Just "Messy Water"
Water from a toilet, even if it looks clear, can contain pathogens. If the overflow happened after use or involves sewage backup, it is classified as Category 3 (Black Water).
- Bacteria & Viruses: E. coli, Salmonella, and Hepatitis A can be present.
- Absorbent Materials: Carpet, padding, and drywall soak up this water instantly and cannot be safely cleaned—they must be removed.
Our Containment & Cleanup Process
Do not try to clean this yourself with a shop vac and towels. You risk spreading the contamination.
- Extraction: We remove the standing water and solid waste safely.
- Removal: We cut out affected drywall and remove saturated flooring using protective gear.
- Sanitization: We use hospital-grade disinfectants to clean the subfloor and framing.
- Drying: We thoroughly dry the structure before any repairs begin.
