What Counts as Sewage or Contaminated Water?

Not all water damage is the same. Sewage and Category 3 (Black Water) contamination contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites and requires immediate professional handling across Northeast Ohio, including Cuyahoga, Medina, Lorain, Lake, Geauga, and Portage Counties.

  • Sewer line backups

  • Drain or main line failures

  • Groundwater intrusion mixed with soil or waste

  • Water that has sat untreated and become contaminated

  • Toilet overflows involving waste

  • Septic system overflows

  • Floodwater entering basements or crawlspaces

⚠️ Critical: All water damage can become Category 3 if not handled immediately.

Clean water that remains untreated can absorb bacteria from building materials, turning into hazardous water over time. This is why fast response and correct classification are critical — and why improper cleanup can make the situation worse.

Why Sewage Cleanup Is NOT a DIY Job
