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.
Our Ames, TX crews suit up in full PPE before entering a contaminated space, no exceptions.

We follow strict biohazard protocol on every Sewage Cleanup call, treating even a small backup with full precaution.
