Category 3 Black Water Is a Severe Biological Emergency
A raw sewage backup or main sewer overflow inside your home or commercial building is classified by the IICRC as Category 3 "Black Water"—the highest level of biological water contamination. Raw sewage teems with over 120 known human viruses, parasites, and pathogenic bacteria including E. coli, Salmonella, Hepatitis A, Giardia, Rotavirus, and Norovirus.
Mopping up standing sewage water leaves millions of infectious microbes embedded in flooring, drywall, and baseboards—and creates toxic mold growth within 24 to 48 hours. Our 24/7 biohazard crews arrive with industrial truck-mounted vacuum extractors, hospital-grade sporicides, and commercial dehumidifiers to completely decontaminate your property.
☣️ Why Professional Sewage Bio-Remediation Is Essential:
Inhalation of aerosolized sewage bacteria or contact with contaminated surfaces can cause severe gastrointestinal and liver infections.
We extract 100% of raw effluent, perform flood-cut removal of saturated drywall and porous flooring, flush subfloors with EPA-registered hospital disinfectants, and dry structural cavities to prevent mold amplification.
Complete Sewage Decontamination Workflow
1. Industrial Bio-Sludge Extraction
High-powered vacuum extraction removes standing black water, solid fecal waste, and contaminated sludge from basements, bathrooms, and crawlspaces.
2. Porous Material Removal
Sewage-soaked carpet, padding, insulation, and wicking drywall are safely removed and disposed of as contaminated waste.
3. Antimicrobial & Virucidal Wash
Concrete slabs, wall studs, and non-porous surfaces are pressure-washed and treated with EPA hospital-grade bactericides and virucides.
4. Structural Drying & Odor Control
Commercial LGR dehumidifiers, HEPA air scrubbers, and hydroxyl generators eliminate moisture and sewage odors permanently.
