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
