Don't let toilet overflows interrupt your business!

Toilet overflows and sewage back-ups are common issues for business owners to experience. Water from sewer system backups should be considered very dangerous. The water could potentially contain bacteria and viruses that could cause illness and is very unsanitary.

Immediate response is critical especially when a toilet overflow or a sewage back-up occurs.  SERVPRO of Sugar Land has the training and equipment that is necessary to clean this kind of water damage.  Our staff will come to your home and inspect the contaminated water to determine the classification and the necessary steps needed for the situation.  There are three different major types of water which are the following:

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 - may include washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces; or dishwasher overflow.
• It 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

When it comes to toilet overflows or sewage back up in your business, call a professional immediately.  Our team of professionals at SERVPRO of Sugar Land is available 24/7 to help you when disaster strikes.
