Sewer backups are serious emergencies. Contaminated water can harbor dangerous viruses, bacteria, and other microbes, posing significant health risks. SERVPRO's trained technicians and specialized equipment are designed to swiftly and safely remove these contaminants.

Understanding Water Damage Categories

Water damage is categorized into three levels of contamination:

  1. Category 1: Clean Water

    • Originates from a clean source like a broken pipe or leaking faucet.
    • If not promptly addressed, it can degrade into Category 2 or 3.
  2. Category 2: Gray Water

    • Contaminated with bacteria and viruses.
    • Examples include overflow from washing machines, toilets (without feces), and dishwashers.
    • Requires immediate attention to prevent further contamination.
  3. Category 3: Black Water

    • Grossly contaminated with sewage, chemicals, and harmful microbes.
    • Can cause severe illness or death.
    • Examples include floodwater, sewage backups, and water from beyond the toilet trap.
