| Event: |
|
- Sewage spill from a pumping station
in the sub-basement, causing extensive
black water contamination underneath
this multi-storey office & residential
building.
- The sewage flood was generating foul
odour that was permeating throughout the
communal parts of this office and
residential building, causing discomfort
and potential health risk – particularly
to the residential occupants.
|
| Response: |
|
- AnyTime UK was first able to provide
advice on halting the sewage leak.
- A response team was then dispatched
with the necessary equipment for a
professional, thorough sewage spill
remediation operation.
- Foul air was removed from the
building circulation with the use of
numerous air movers creating a negative
air pressure in the basement. This
improved the comfort of the building
occupants.
- Sewage was then removed and the
basement cleaned by means of high
pressure jet washing of surfaces and
extracting waste & sediment. Heavy
sediment was bagged and removed off
site.
- Contamination risk was removed with
an application of anti-microbial and
deodorising solutions to mitigate
microbial development of bacteria,
moulds and yeasts.
- The basement was left clean and
odour free, with the associated risks of
the sewage spill having been removed.
- The client was delighted with the
improvement in cleanliness and odour.

| Comments: |

Although this
particular client wishes to remain
anonymous, while on site the operatives were
advised by the Facilities Manager that the
company and management were extremely
impressed with the level of service
provided. The quick response and outcome
achieved – with complaints from building
occupants ceasing within 24 hours of AnyTime
UK attending – exceeded their expectations.
