Frozen Pipe and Sewage Combo

This home in Williamstown, NJ had a water damage combo caused by frozen pips and sewage back up in their basement about 2-3 inches high. 

Water from sewer system backups should be considered very dangerous. The water is grossly unsanitary and may contain bacteria and viruses that could cause serious illness. Special training and equipment is necessary to safely clean this type of contamination.

Category 1: "Clean Water"

• Water from a clean source like a broken water line
• If left untreated, can degrade into category 2 or 3

Category 2: "Gray Water"

• May contain bacteria and viruses
• Can quickly degrade into category 3 if left untreated

Category 3: "Black Water"

• May contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes
• Water from flooding rivers or sewer backup

Do not leave a water clean up to yourself, contact a company that is certificated and has the right equipment to execute and complete the job.
