[labnetwork] Flood Cleanup

[DeRose, Guy A.]

Hello Mark,

Sorry to hear of your facility troubles, especially during the holidays. We had a flood (maybe not as extensive as what you are describing) in our clean room at Caltech over the 4th of July a few years ago, and a local company called Controlled Contamination Services (from San Diego) was able to do a systematic cleaning of the mess caused by the dirty water infiltrating the cleanroom.  When their job was done, we had Controlled Environmental Regulatory Testing Services (CERTS) in Tustin, CA come in to recertify the space.  They did a great job.  You can contact me directly for details.

FYI,
Guy

Happy Holidays,
Does anyone have experience with cleaning up a flood of water and mud in their Cleanroom?
We had a major event from a water line up the street that flooded water and mud throughout our Cleanbays.
Once the water is removed and dried, the mud will become dirt and ultimately dust which is of course disastrous.
Is there a company that is experienced at de-contaminating this level of mess that can be hired?
We are in Southern California.

Thanks in advance,
