Contaminated Water Cleanup in Cypress, TX
Grey water — dishwasher, washing machine, shower drain — is the ambiguous middle category, and it doesn't stay ambiguous for long. Left more than 48 hours it degrades to Category 3, which is why a washing machine discharge discovered on returning from a weekend away is scoped very differently from one caught the same afternoon.

Our process
What happens, step by step
- 01
Containment & PPE setup
The affected area is isolated and crews enter in full PPE. Foot traffic is controlled so contamination never crosses into clean areas.
- 02
Waste and contaminated water extraction
Solids and black water are removed with dedicated equipment that is never used on clean-water losses.
- 03
Removal of porous materials
Carpet, pad, insulation, particleboard, saturated drywall and affected contents are bagged as contaminated waste and disposed of under regulation.
- 04
Cleaning & disinfection
Every remaining surface is cleaned, then treated with hospital-grade EPA-registered disinfectant with the required dwell time.
- 05
HEPA air filtration
Air scrubbers run throughout to capture aerosolized contaminants generated during the work.
- 06
Structural drying
Once decontaminated, the structure is dried to standard with air movers and dehumidifiers.
- 07
Deodorization & clearance
Odour is treated at the source, surfaces are sealed where required, and the area is verified before reconstruction.
