Sewage in a building is not a water problem with a bad smell attached. It is a contamination problem, and the water is only how it arrived. The IICRC S500 standard calls this Category 3 water: grossly contaminated, carrying bacteria and organic waste that can make people sick through direct contact and through the air once the material dries and the residue turns to dust. That single classification drives every decision that follows, from what gets cleaned versus carried out the door, to who is allowed in the building while the work runs. United Water Restoration Group of Mobile handles sewage losses out of our office on Halls Mill Road. Crews drive from here, so a call from Saraland to the north, from Daphne or Fairhope across the bay, or from Foley, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach down at the coast reaches the same equipment and the same standards. What changes is the building. A raised house over a crawl space and a slab home in a newer Baldwin County subdivision fail in completely different directions, and the cleanup has to follow the building it is in.
Fairhope sits on the bluff above Mobile Bay, and how a home here takes on water depends a great deal on which part of town it is in. The older houses near the water, the ones with deep porches and tall windows and a good deal of age on them, fail one way. The newer subdivisions spreading inland fail another: slab-on-grade, wall-to-wall flooring, water running sideways under the planks and into the bottom plate of the wall while the hallway still looks perfectly dry. United Water Restoration Group of Mobile handles water, fire and mold damage across Baldwin County and the Eastern Shore. Our crews drive over from the office at 3710 Halls Mill Rd in Mobile, roughly twenty-two miles out. There is no storefront here, and we would rather say that plainly than imply otherwise. What matters is that someone arrives with meters and equipment, reads the building correctly, and starts pulling water out before it moves somewhere nobody can see it.
Crews dispatch 24/7 from our Mobile base at 3710 Halls Mill Rd A and cover all of Fairhope — one local team, no subcontracted call centers. See all services in Fairhope or read more about sewage backup cleanup.
