A sewage backup is one of the few home emergencies that's genuinely a health hazard, not just a mess. The water involved — what the industry calls Category 3 "black water" — carries bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. This is the one situation where the "what NOT to do" list matters as much as the cleanup itself. Here's what you need to know. (General information, not medical advice — for any exposure or health concerns, contact a doctor.)
Not all water damage is equal. The restoration industry classifies water into three categories based on how contaminated it is — and that category determines how the cleanup must be handled, what can be saved, and the safety steps required. Here's what each means in plain English.

Here's how to tell which bucket your situation falls into. (This is general information, not insurance advice — always check your specific policy and confirm with your insurer.)
