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.
EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment and compliant disposal of contaminated materials are standard on every Sewage Cleanup job we run in Ephrata, WA.
