Sewage & Contamination
Category 3 water.
Category 1 response.
Professional sewage cleanup and decontamination to eliminate health hazards.
The Problem
Sewage backups and contaminated water (Category 3 or "black water") present severe health risks. Category 3 is the IICRC S500 classification for grossly contaminated water. Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other pathogens.
Any materials contacted by sewage may need removal rather than cleaning. Improper cleanup can lead to ongoing contamination and health problems. This is not a DIY situation.
Our Process
Emergency Response & Safety
PPE protocols, assess contamination extent. We identify the source, evaluate the spread, and establish safety zones before any work begins.
Extraction & Removal
Pump sewage, remove contaminated materials — carpet, drywall, insulation. Everything that has been contacted by Category 3 water is removed and properly disposed of.
Decontamination
Hospital-grade antimicrobial treatment of all remaining surfaces. Every surface is treated to eliminate pathogens and prevent ongoing contamination.
Drying & Monitoring
Structural drying with continuous moisture monitoring. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers ensure the structure dries completely and safely.
Restoration
Rebuild affected areas, clearance testing. New materials are installed and the space is verified safe for occupancy.
