SEWAGE DAMAGE RESTORATION YOU CAN TRUST
When a sewage backup occurs, the risks go far beyond water damage. Sewage water, classified as Category 3 water or "black water," is hazardous and can threaten the health and safety of occupants if not addressed immediately. At Bulldog®, we provide expert sewage clean-up services and water removal services for homes and businesses in Bucks County and Montgomery County, PA. Below outlines why sewage water is so dangerous, the risks involved, and why you should trust Bulldog® for professional sewage cleanup and restoration.
​​
Harmful Bacteria and Pathogens
Direct exposure or even indirect contact to "black water" can cause serious illnesses. When sewage water saturates surfaces and materials, it becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew, further compounding the health risks. Sewage can carry dangerous bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and other disease-causing organisms. Furthermore, exposure to sewage water increases the risk of viral infections such as Hepatitis A and Rotavirus. It is important to call a professional anytime you encounter "Cat 3", black water sewage damages. Our staff is trained to assess and document the situation, locate hidden pockets of standing or absorbed water, and begin sanitizing and drying out the affected areas.
Air Quality & Tracking After Sewage Damages
Even after the visible water is gone, sewage water contamination can linger in the air and on surfaces. Bacteria, mold spores, and chemical residues can become aerosolized during cleanup, posing inhalation risks. In addition, foul odors from sewage backups can penetrate into walls, furniture, and HVAC systems, making indoor spaces unpleasant and unsafe. Our team utilizes a number of tools in our arsenal to ensure complete sewage sanitization and safe indoor air quality. Through containment, air filtration, hydroxyl and ATP readings, our customers trust that when the project is complete, we've left no stone unturned.

Sewage, Cat 3 Water, Sanitization, Drying & More!
While sewage water is a common source of Category 3, or "Black Water" water damage, not all Category 3 incidents involve sewage. The ANSI IICRC S500 Standard for Professional Water Mitigation defines Category 3 water as containing harmful bacteria and pathogens. This would include events like flooding from natural disasters which can bring debris and chemicals into your property, water from industrial processes or chemical spills, and long-standing water damage that has become heavily contaminated. Our expert water damage technicians can help you determine the level of contamination and properly designate the category of water so its treated properly during the drying and cleaning efforts.
​
Equipment Decontamination
Rest assured that all equipment, hoses, extractors, and tools are properly sanitized and cleaned after every Cat 3 water damage. This helps prevent cross contamination on future projects and ensures we bring only clean, safe equipment into your home or business.
​
Contents Inventory and Cleaning
Contents affected by sewage or Cat 3 water will most times need to be discarded. Anytime we can not adequately clean or guarantee sanitization, our recommendation will be to discard and replace. This does not mean all contents that come into contact with black water damage are trash, but we do have to be careful when making that determination.
​
Indoor Air Quality Protection
Prior to drying, our team will set containment with air filtration in mind. This is to reduce the spread of aerosolized particulates during demo and mitigation. We have specialized equipment like Hydroxyl machines to counteract odors and will only leave air movers after we are sure the affected areas have been adequately sanitized.
​
