Emergency Cleanup Tips for Water, Fire, Mold, Sewage Backups & Trauma Damage

Emergencies like water leaks, sewage backups, floods, fires, mold outbreaks, or trauma scenes can strike without warning—and fast action is critical to protect your property, health, and safety.

At Boone’s Restoration Technologies, we’ve seen just how devastating these situations can be—especially when flood water or raw sewage is involved. That’s why we’re sharing expert guidance to help homeowners and property managers in Montgomery and Harris Counties, TX take the right steps after a disaster—while waiting for professional help.

🚿 Water Damage & Sewage Backups: Don’t Risk Your Health
Floodwater and sewage backups aren’t just messy—they’re dangerous. These waters can carry harmful bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants that pose serious health risks.

Step 1: Protect Yourself First
If there’s standing water—especially from a sewer line or outdoor flooding—do not enter the area without proper protective gear. Shut off electricity to avoid electrocution.

Step 2: Stop the Source
If the backup is caused by a broken pipe, heavy rainfall, or clogged sewer line, turn off your water supply or contact a plumber right away.

Step 3: Avoid DIY Cleanup
Never attempt to clean up sewage or floodwater on your own. Even minor contact with contaminated water can lead to infections or illness.

Step 4: Call Boone’s Immediately
Our certified team is available 24/7 for safe, thorough sewage and floodwater extraction. We use hospital-grade disinfectants, advanced drying equipment, and EPA-approved protocols to protect your health and restore your home.

🔥 Fire Damage: Wait for the All-Clear
Step 1: Evacuate and Call 911
Ensure everyone is safe, then allow emergency responders to assess the situation.

Step 2: Don’t Touch Anything
Fire and smoke residues are hazardous. Disturbing the scene could make the damage worse or put you at risk.

Step 3: Ventilate if Permitted
Only open windows or doors once the fire department confirms it’s safe to do so.

Step 4: Contact Boone’s for Fire Restoration
We handle everything from smoke and soot removal to structural cleaning and deodorization—safely and effectively.

🦠 Mold: Often the Hidden Threat After Flooding or Sewage Leaks
Step 1: Check for Mold Warning Signs
If you've had water intrusion, be on the lookout for musty smells, discoloration, or worsening allergies.

Step 2: Avoid the Area
Mold spores can cause respiratory issues and spread quickly, especially in areas affected by flood or sewer water.

Step 3: Keep It Dry
Use dehumidifiers and air scrubbers to control humidity while awaiting professional cleanup. Do NOT use fans as they can distribute spores and fragments to unaffected areas.

Step 4: Schedule a Mold Inspection with Boone’s
We contain and remove mold safely, using proven remediation strategies to protect your property and indoor air quality.

⚠️ Biohazard, Trauma & Sewage Cleanup: Handle With Extreme Caution
Step 1: Isolate the Area
Trauma scenes and sewage-contaminated spaces can contain bloodborne pathogens, bacteria, and other harmful materials.

Step 2: Contact Emergency Services
Ensure any medical or legal concerns are reported to the appropriate authorities.

Step 3: Don’t Clean It Yourself
Proper personal protective equipment (PPE), industrial-grade disinfectants, and disposal methods are essential.

Step 4: Trust Boone’s for Professional Cleanup
Our certified team is trained to safely clean and disinfect trauma and biohazard scenes—including hazardous sewage backups.
