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.
Our Fort Dodge, IA crews suit up in full PPE before entering a contaminated space, no exceptions.

PPE compliance isn't optional on our Fort Dodge, IA sewage jobs, it's standard procedure.
