Nothing is worse than a sump pump back up in your Cranesville basement. This is one of the losses that you want to call a professional for. And SERVPRO of Erie and Warren Counties, PA has your back when it comes to this gruesome disaster. 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.

There are three major types of contaminated water. We will inspect that contaminated water to determine the type of water and then plan the appropriate response to safely restore your Platea, North East, Tidioute, and surrounding aeras home or business.

3 Types of Contaminated Water:

Category 1: "Clean Water"

This is water from a clean source, such as a broken clean water supply line or faucet. 

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

Category 2: "Gray Water"

This water has a significant level of contamination that could cause discomfort or illness if ingested. 

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

Category 3: "Black Water"

This water is grossly unsanitary and could cause severe illness or death if ingested, and any contact should be avoided. 

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

Sewage backup should be considered an emergency and dealt with as quickly as possible.
