Black Water Extraction (Category 3) FAQs

What is Category 3 water damage?

Water that carries sewage, bacteria or other serious contaminants, such as sewer backups, toilet overflows with waste and outside floodwater.

Does flood water from outside become black water?

Yes. Outside floodwater picks up sewage, chemicals and soil, so it is treated as Category 3.

How quickly should black water extraction begin?

Right away. Contaminated water soaks into porous materials and spreads odor and bacteria the longer it sits.

Can I clean up a sewage backup myself?

Only a very small spill on a hard surface, with gloves and disinfectant. Anything larger needs protective cleanup.

What areas need black water sanitization?

Every surface the water touched, including floors, lower walls, framing, cabinets and anything kept from the affected rooms.
