Sewage backup is Category 3 blackwater, which means it carries real health risk and requires a completely different protocol than a clean-water leak. Attempting to clean up blackwater without proper protective gear is a genuine health hazard, not just an inconvenience.
Containment goes up immediately to keep contaminated water from spreading to unaffected areas of the property.

Every technician entering a Laurel, MD sewage job wears full PPE — no shortcuts, regardless of how minor the backup looks.
