Why Athens Homes Need Sewage Cleanup

Older sewer laterals under mature Southern tree canopy are a root-intrusion problem waiting to happen, and metro storms regularly surcharge combined lines.

Athens combines a huge rental market — tens of thousands of student units that sit empty all summer, where leaks run for weeks unnoticed — with a historic housing stock of pre-war homes on original plumbing.

• Extraction of sewage and solids with dedicated equipment
• Removal and disposal of contaminated porous materials
• Hospital-grade disinfection of all affected surfaces
• HEPA air scrubbing throughout the work area
• Structural drying, moisture verification, and rebuild
