Because sewage water is considered Category 3 water, it contains harmful contaminants that require specialized cleanup and sanitization procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike clean water losses, sewage backups can quickly contaminate flooring, drywall, insulation, furniture, and personal belongings. Prompt professional cleanup helps reduce health risks while limiting additional property damage.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"warning-signs\">Signs You Need Professional Sewage Cleanup<\/h2>\n<p>Sewage contamination should never be ignored.
