Lockhart, SC's Sewage Cleanup Team, Full PPE Every Job

Blackwater contamination poses real health risk, unlike clean-water leaks, which is why it needs a different protocol.

Porous materials that contacted blackwater usually need to be removed and disposed of, since they can't be fully disinfected.

We use EPA-registered antimicrobial products specifically rated for blackwater contamination.

We verify air quality and complete surface disinfection checks before signing off.

Often yes, especially for sudden sewer backups, though coverage varies by policy — we can help document the loss for your claim.

We recommend calling right away rather than attempting any cleanup yourself given the biohazard involved.
