Category 3 Response

Sewage Cleanup in Knoxville, TN — Handled as the Biohazard It Is

Sewage backup is Category 3 blackwater, which means it carries real health risk and requires a completely different protocol than a clean-water leak. This is one water damage situation where calling a trained crew immediately matters more than trying to handle it yourself.

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