Does sewage in Bluffs change the cleanup?
Yes. Contaminated water calls for isolation, removal of affected porous material and cleaning of exposed surfaces.
How long will a Bluffs property take to dry?
Many jobs need several days after extraction. Material readings and the size of the wet area determine the actual time.
