Contaminated water is extracted using equipment dedicated to blackwater jobs, kept separate from clean-water equipment.

Porous materials — carpet, drywall, insulation — that contacted sewage are removed and disposed of per regulatory guidelines.
Disinfection follows the same standard regardless of how small the backup appeared initially.
We treat odor as a symptom of ongoing contamination, not just a smell to mask.
Air quality sign-off happens before we consider the job complete.
We ask enough to confirm this is a sewage-related call and prepare accordingly.
Containment barriers and PPE are standard equipment for every dispatch.
A biohazard assessment and written quote come before any extraction starts.
