Our Flooding Story in Manayunk, philadelphia, PA

We all remember last year's tropical storm Isaias and the destruction left behind.

As Isaias was storming over Philadelphia, people in Manayunk were literally life-rafted out of their homes by black water.

​A black water damage means that water is grossly contaminated.

​In the case of Manayunk, the gutter system is tied to the sewer system, so rising water brings toxigenic organic materials in the event of rapid floods.

​It is one of the worst unhealthy messes to say the least. Hence, it is the most dangerous event that can cause disease upon exposure.

Also called "category 3," black water soaks right into the building materials and fills surfaces with bacteria that will breed and feed on those materials.

Higher temperatures, higher humidity levels, and stagnant air create the best conditions for bacteria to thrive.

So, imagine what the people from Manayunk had to go through.

Keeping the safety of the inhabitants and our staff first in our minds, it was essential to act fast, remove what had to be removed, clean, sanitize, and rebuild. In these circumstances, we know too well that there is no place for second best.

It took us seven days a week for two months and multiple crews on site to restore the property.

​Ultimately, we did it, and we helped people move back to their normal lives faster than we anticipated.
