Mercer, TN'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.

We recommend checking your specific policy, and we'll support the claim with proper documentation either way.

Sewage should be treated as urgent, since delay increases both health risk and the amount of material that can't be saved.
