Why Downey Homes Need Sewage Cleanup

Dense Valley development on aging sewer infrastructure means storm surcharge and lateral blockages both show up as backups — and in multi-family buildings, in several units at once.

Downey's dense postwar tract housing sits on the flat southeastern basin floor, where the Rio Hondo and San Gabriel River channels run high in winter storms.

• 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
