Sewage Backup & Category 3
Category 3 water. It is the one loss where cleaning it yourself is genuinely a health decision, not a money one.
Signs you need this
What has to go
Porous material that has been in contact with Category 3 water does not get cleaned and kept. Carpet, pad, and usually the bottom section of drywall come out. Hard surfaces can be cleaned and disinfected.
This is the standard, not an upsell. Anyone offering to shampoo a carpet that had sewage on it is doing you harm.
Then the cause
A sewage backup is a symptom. Because we are plumbers as well, the same visit that cleans it up is the visit that finds out whether it was a blockage, a failed lateral or something in the main.
How the job runs
