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.
Containment goes up immediately to keep contaminated water from spreading to unaffected areas of the property.

Every technician entering a Zumbrota, MN sewage job wears full PPE — no shortcuts, regardless of how minor the backup looks.
