Calgary Storm Fill Basements with Water

When a major storm hit Calgary the excess water resulted in a sewer backup and this basement filled up with dirty water. Water can be placed into three categories. Category 1 is clean water, Category 2 is grey water, and Category 3 is black water. This sewer water is black water meaning it is carrying harmful bacteria and needs to be taken care within the proper protocols. That is why the water was extracted, the contacted drywall and insulation removed, and the space sanitized with an antimicrobial cleaner. Sewer backups are hard to predict and can happen to anyone, make sure yours is taken care of by a professional.
