What you Should Know about Sewage Backup

7/10/2019 (Permalink)

All sewage backups are an emergency and should be treated as such. The water may contain viruses and bacteria that can make you sick. SERVPRO of Northwest Genesee County has trained professionals who come in to your home ready to quickly and efficiently take care of the problem.

When describing the damage and severity of a sewage back up, three categories are used 

Category 1 or Clean Water is water that comes from a clean source such as a faucet or clean water supply line. If left unattended this type of water can quickly move to a category 2 or 3.

Category 2 or Gray Water may contain bacteria and would cause illness or discomfort if digested.

Category 3 or Black Water is extremely unsanitary and can cause death or severe illness if ingested. This type of water comes from the toilet bowl with feces or water from beyond the toilet trap.
