Sewage Backup in Barnesville?

7/28/2021 (Permalink)

A toilet in a clean bathroom is shown. We respond to sewage backup 24-hours a day in Clay County.

Did you know there are three classifications for contaminated water? Sewage backups are classified as “black water.”  SERVPRO® of Moorhead responds to sewage backups 24-hours a day in Barnesville. Here is some information on contaminated water from our website:

Category 3: "Black Water"

Category 3 “Black Water” is grossly unsanitary and can cause severe illness or death if ingested. Any contact should be avoided. Sources for black water 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.

Category 2: "Gray Water"

This water has a significant level of contamination that could cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Sources for category 2 water may include washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces; or dishwasher overflow.

Category 1: "Clean Water"

This is water from a clean source, such as a broken clean water supply line or faucet. If left untreated, category 1 water can quickly degrade into category 2 or 3 water depending upon such factors as time, temperature, and contact with contaminants.
