Sewage backup is Category 3 blackwater, which means it carries real health risk and requires a completely different protocol than a clean-water leak. A DIY approach to sewage cleanup puts household members at real risk of exposure.
Containment goes up immediately to keep contaminated water from spreading to unaffected areas of the property.

PPE compliance isn't optional on our Summit, AZ sewage jobs, it's standard procedure.
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial products specifically rated for blackwater contamination.
Porous materials that contacted blackwater are disposed of according to regulatory guidelines, not just thrown in a regular dumpster.
Containment barriers go up before cleanup starts, keeping contaminated water isolated from living spaces.
