Sewer Backup in Evansville Business?

1/5/2022 (Permalink)

We respond to commercial water emergencies 24-hours a day in Douglas County.

SERVPRO® of Douglas & Otter Tail Counties has been helping commercial businesses in Evansville with water damage issues for many years. Sewer water is classified as “black water,” and exposure to this type of water is grossly unsanitary. We have the training, equipment, personal protective gear, and the proper disinfecting and cleaning products to restore sewer system backups safely. Here are the three classifications of contaminated water we address:

Category 1: “Clean Water”

This is water from a clean source, such as a broken clean water supply line or faucet.

• Water from a clean source like a broken water line
• If left untreated can degrade into category two or three

Category 2: “Gray Water”

• It may contain bacteria and viruses
• It can quickly degrade into category three if left untreated

Category 3: “Black Water”

This water is grossly unsanitary, and any contact should be avoided. Sources for category three water could include flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with feces, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth.

• May contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes
• Water from flooding rivers or sewer backup
