Category 3 Water Damage

When your sewer system is backed up, we handle the initial sewage clean-up all the way through to complete water damage restoration.

When your home is exposed to black water (sewage water) either through sewage backup, toilet backup, or sewer leak- special measures are required. Sewage water is a biohazard, meaning it's contaminated and can contain pathogens, toxins and other harmful agents.

Sewage damage should be cleaned as soon as possible in order to prevent cross-contamination of bacteria and viruses, such as E-coli, to other unaffected areas and reduce health risks.
