Category 3 Response

Traverse City, MI's Sewage Cleanup Team, Full PPE Every Job

Sewage backup is Category 3 blackwater, which means it carries real health risk and requires a completely different protocol than a clean-water leak. Attempting to clean up blackwater without proper protective gear is a genuine health hazard, not just an inconvenience.

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