What Black Water Category 3 Cleanup Includes in Montrose
Water category matters during black water category 3 cleanup in Montrose. Clean supply water, gray appliance discharge and sewage affect cleaning and material decisions.
Sewage, outside floodwater or a contaminated toilet backup can soak carpet, drywall, insulation, contents and hard surfaces. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.

- Stop the water at a safe shutoff if the source is inside.
- Avoid wet outlets and turn off power only from a dry location.
- Photograph carpet before moving affected items.
- Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
