Category 3 water is a biohazard
Sewage backups are Category 3 "black water", loaded with bacteria, viruses, and parasites, and everything porous it touches is contaminated, not just wet. This is not a shop-vac-and-fans job. Norfolk Water Damage Restoration crews work in full protective equipment, extract and dispose of the waste legally, remove contaminated pad, drywall, and insulation, and disinfect every remaining surface with hospital-grade, EPA-registered products before drying begins.
What causes backups in Norfolk
Most backups come from a blocked or root-invaded lateral line, a failed backwater valve, or municipal mains surcharging during heavy rain, which is why they so often hit basements first. While we clean up, we document the cause, that matters because sewer-backup coverage is a specific endorsement on most homeowners policies, and correctly attributing the source is what gets the claim paid.
