Three Categories of Sewage Backup

Sewage backup comes in three forms, appropriately named category 1, 2, and 3. The scale starts at clean water being 1 and ends with black water being 3 with gray water in the middle at 2. The toxicity levels of the water determine which category it fits into. Category 1 clean water has no pollutants, but still contains enough moisture to spread mod and damage building materials.

Category 2 contains bacteria in the water that causes diseases if swallowed. It will also mar your property and promotes mold at an accelerated rate.

The deadliest of these is category 3 black water, or returning water, reserved for outgoing sewage lines containing human waste. Do not attempt a DIY job here. Respect the waste and keep your distance. Close your water line, call 911 Restoration Westchester, and wait for our sewage backup Pelham operatives to arrive.
