Sewage

Sewage is the most dangerous water loss inside a home. Sewage is classified as any type of material that originates from beyond the trap. Many people mistakenly think that when water comes up through a floor drain that it is not dangerous. This is incorrect, once water has entered the sewer line it has the potential to bring bacteria and viruses back into the home that are potentially deadly.

Category 3 Water Loss (sewage)- Category 3 losses are grossly contaminated and can contain pathogenic, toxic and/or other harmful agents. Such water may contain silt, organic matter, pesticides, heavy metals, or toxic organic substances. Category 3 losses have the potential to cause serious illness and/or death. Category 3 losses include all water that originates from a source beyond the Pea Trap regardless of color or content.

• Example- Category 3 losses include sewage; toilet backflows that originate from beyond the trap regardless of visible content or color; all forms of flooding from seawater; surface water, RAIN WATER, or other weather related events.
