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.
Foley sits about forty miles east of our Halls Mill Road office in Mobile, inland from the beaches, at the point where Baldwin County traffic turns toward the Gulf. It is one of the fastest-growing towns on this coast, roughly twenty thousand people, and most of what has gone up here over the past twenty years is newer construction on a concrete slab. That single detail changes how water damage behaves in a Foley house. There is no crawl space under the floor to catch a leak, so water that gets loose runs sideways across the slab, under the flooring, into the bottom plate of the nearest wall, and wicks up the drywall from underneath. Nothing shows in the hallway until a baseboard swells or a room starts to smell. United Water Restoration Group of Mobile handles water, fire and mold damage here and across Baldwin County, working to IICRC S500 and S520 standards. Our crews and equipment drive over from Mobile. Call (251) 351-8100.
Crews dispatch 24/7 from our Mobile base at 3710 Halls Mill Rd A and cover all of Foley — one local team, no subcontracted call centers. See all services in Foley or read more about sewage backup cleanup.
