Category 3 Response

Waukegan, IL's Sewage Cleanup Team, Full PPE Every Job

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.

Our Waukegan, IL crews suit up in full PPE before entering a contaminated space, no exceptions.
