Why Sewage Cleanup Can't Wait
Sewage is Category 3, or black water, the most hazardous water category.
- It can carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites
- It spreads quickly through porous materials like carpet, drywall, and insulation
- Odors and contamination worsen the longer it sits
- Cleanup requires protective equipment and EPA-registered disinfectants
Keep people and pets out of the area and do not try to clean it up yourself.
