Sewage backup is Category 3 blackwater, which means it carries real health risk and requires a completely different protocol than a clean-water leak. This is one water damage situation where calling a trained crew immediately matters more than trying to handle it yourself.

We follow strict biohazard protocol on every Sewage Cleanup call, treating even a small backup with full precaution.
Sanitization on every Sewage Cleanup job meets the EPA-registered standard for Category 3 water.
Porous materials that contacted blackwater are disposed of according to regulatory guidelines, not just thrown in a regular dumpster.
