Black Water Extraction (Category 3) FAQs
What happens during the black water drying process?
After contaminated materials are removed and surfaces disinfected, air movers, dehumidifiers and air scrubbers dry the structure.
What is involved in septic tank backup cleanup?
Extracting wastewater, removing contaminated materials, disinfecting surfaces and drying, while noting the septic problem for a contractor.
How is storm sewer flood water different from a pipe leak?
It carries soil, debris and contaminants from outside, so it is treated as Category 3 rather than clean water.
Can carpet be saved after contaminated water exposure?
Usually not. Carpet and pad soaked by sewage or floodwater are removed and discarded for safety.
How quickly should black water extraction begin?
Right away. Contaminated water soaks into porous materials and spreads odor and bacteria the longer it sits.
