SERVPRO OF Glen Burnie provides both commercial and residential mitigation, remediation, and reconstruction services. The office bathroom pictured here suffered water damage when their toilet overflowed. Water from sewer system backups should be considered very dangerous.
This water is grossly unsanitary and could cause severe illness or death if ingested, and any contact should be avoided. Sources for category 3 water could 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.
- May contain untreated sewage, harsh chemicals, and microbes
