Sewage backup is Category 3 blackwater, which means it carries real health risk and requires a completely different protocol than a clean-water leak. Attempting to clean up blackwater without proper protective gear is a genuine health hazard, not just an inconvenience.

PPE compliance isn't optional on our New Richmond, OH sewage jobs, it's standard procedure.
Sanitization on every Sewage Cleanup job meets the EPA-registered standard for Category 3 water.
Porous materials that contacted blackwater are disposed of according to regulatory guidelines, not just thrown in a regular dumpster.
