Hospital Water Damage

Any water incident at a healthcare facility can be quite serious, with mold or standing water posing significant hazards for children, the elderly, and the immune compromised.  If the facility itself is part of a flooding disaster, affected areas must be brought back into operation as quickly as possible to handle the increased influx of patients.  But you already know that, and have included it in your disaster restoration plan.

When needed, we’re ready to be your healthcare or hospital water damage management and restoration crew, ready to shoulder a great deal of the burden in meeting requirements concerning mold, spores, bacteria, moisture levels, and more.  As noted by the CDC, in-house staff can handle many incidents.  But with larger areas (above 32 square feet), standing water, or long periods of high humidity, specialized equipment and highly trained technicians are called for (http://www.cdc.gov/disasters/reopen_healthfacilities.html).

You have a host of highly specialized lab, medical, and electronic equipment and devices to deal with along with a zoo of regulations and agencies — CDC, EPA, FDA NIOSH, OSHA.  And you may well be scrambling to re-establish storage and sterile areas.  So let us handle all aspects of water damage restoration.

Superior Sanitation

Our own in-house experts assure the utmost in hygiene all along the way.  Whether independent issues or part of a larger disaster, Regal also has extensive experience in mold removal and sewage damage cleanup.

  Mold Remediation

Whenever there’s visible evidence or a suspicion of hidden mold growth, our licensed mold remediation specialists can complete a visual inspection along with taking air and surface samples for testing.  If there is indeed a problem, isolation with plastic sheeting and negative air-pressure exhaust along with running HEPA air-scrubbers are essential in preventing the spread of spores, toxins, and contaminants.  Following EPA and OSHA regulations and guidelines our crews will perform thorough mold and spore removal through techniques such as wet vacuuming, damp wipe, and HEPA vacuuming.  Those wastes along with any removed porous materials will be transported in sealed containers and  properly disposed of.  We’ll follow through with further decontamination and abatement, including duct and HVAC system cleaning for spore removal.

  Sewage Backup Cleaning

For any sewage contamination, in hospitals or other commercial facilities, our microbial specialists understand and follow all industry best practices (not to mention regulations) for sewage cleanup, transportation, and disposal.  That includes sterilizing or disposing of all materials that came in direct contact with sewage, and peeling back the layers such as inspecting and cleaning behind baseboards and trim.  Following IICRC guidelines we’ll also apply biohazard practices to other sources of Category 3 water, such as flooding from ground sources and water that has been standing for more than 24 hours.
