Category 3 Emergency · PPE Protocol Required
Sewage Cleanup & Biohazard Restoration
Sewage backups and black water contamination are biohazard emergencies. Category 3 water contains pathogenic agents, toxic chemicals, and dangerous bacteria. Never attempt DIY cleanup. Professional decontamination is mandatory for your family's safety.
Sewage Is a Biohazard, Not Just a Mess
Sewage water (Category 3) is classified as grossly contaminated. It contains bacteria, viruses, parasites, and chemical waste that can cause serious illness. A single splash in the eye or an open cut can lead to infection. The EPA and CDC both recommend professional cleanup for any Category 3 water intrusion.
- E. coli, Salmonella, and Hepatitis A are common in sewage backups
- Parasites like Giardia and Cryptosporidium survive on surfaces for weeks
- Ammonia, chlorine, and industrial chemicals cause respiratory damage
- Mold colonizes within 24 hours on sewage-soaked materials
- Odor compounds penetrate porous materials and require specialized treatment
- Insurance often covers sewage cleanup when professionally documented
Why Waiting Makes It Worse
Water migrates behind walls, under flooring
Drywall begins to swell and warp
Mold spores activate, odors develop
Structural damage, permanent staining
