Category 3 blackwater is a health hazard, not a cleaning job. Our Sewage Cleanup crews arrive in full PPE and follow IICRC S500 protocol from the first step, not just the parts that are convenient.

Containment goes up before extraction starts, because the goal isn't just removing the water, it's making sure contamination doesn't spread into rooms that were never affected.
We'd rather explain the sewage cleanup process clearly upfront than have you find out the hard way what a shortcut costs later.
We built this list around what typically goes wrong when sewage cleanup gets handled by a generalist instead of a specialist.
Every sewage job follows documented contamination protocol, not an improvised approach.
The affected area gets isolated before removal starts to prevent cross-contamination.
Contaminated materials are disposed of per local regulation, not just tossed in a standard bin.
Sewage calls get priority dispatch given the actual health risk involved.
Every part of sewage cleanup work below carries the same documentation standard, whether it's a small job or a larger one.
Water gets classified as Category 3 blackwater immediately, which sets the entire response protocol.
Dedicated extraction equipment prevents cross-contamination from clean-water jobs.
Carpet, pad, and drywall that contacted blackwater are removed rather than dried in place.
Disinfection follows removal of unsalvageable materials, covering the entire affected zone.
Odor gets addressed through disinfection and controlled airflow, not masked with fragrance.
The space gets verified against a safe standard before we call the job complete.
This is the same sequence every sewage cleanup job follows, regardless of size.
A real person answers, asks a few fast questions, and routes the nearest available crew.
The truck that arrives is stocked specifically for Sewage Cleanup jobs, not a generic handyman setup.
You approve the number before equipment turns on — no surprise invoice after the fact.
A job isn't closed on a visual check — it's closed on a verified reading.
We don't cherry-pick which sewage cleanup jobs get reviewed — this is a representative cross-section.
