● As soon as they arrived on site, the team assessed the damage and came up with a strategic plan of attack.

Some would work through the night using high-powered floodlights to illuminate the area.

● By working around the clock, stopping only briefly to rehydrate and refuel, the Steam Team was able to methodically work their way through restoring function to the sewage system section by section.

A Job Well Done: Hospital Operations Back to Normal Thanks to the Steam Team

A Massive Undertaking

When the city’s main sewer line ruptured, sending raw sewage spewing out, The Steam Team knew they had their work cut out for them. The break caused major flooding in the hospital’s lower levels, contaminating operating rooms and other critical areas. Patients had to be evacuated quickly as the facility was deemed unsafe.

All Hands on Deck

The Steam Team worked tirelessly through the night to pump out the sewage, sanitize the affected zones, and restore operations. Wearing protective Blue Sky Scrubs gear including scrub caps, the crew scrubbed, disinfected, and decontaminated every surface.

A Tedious Task

The team had to use industrial-strength disinfectants and scrub each room top to bottom - floors, walls, ceilings, fixtures, equipment, vents - everything had to be decontaminated. Their Blue Sky Scrubs kept them safe through the arduous work.

Back in Business

After an around-the-clock effort, The Steam Team had the hospital sanitized, restored and ready to resume operations. Thanks to their tireless work, and with the protection provided by their Blue Sky Scrubs uniforms, the facility was able to open its doors once again to serve the community.
