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.

We verify air quality and complete surface disinfection checks before signing off.
We recommend checking your specific policy, and we'll support the claim with proper documentation either way.
