Category 3 water damage occurs when highly contaminated black water soaks porous materials like carpet and underlay, wall sheeting and wood. Problems can range from sewage water in garages and livings areas to mould-infested crawl spaces. Even a small toilet overflow causes Category 3 damage when dirty water deposits bacteria on the floor, baseboards and surrounding fixtures.

  • Broken sewer lines
  • Backed-up sewer mains
