Startex, SC's Sewage Cleanup Team, Full PPE Every Job

Blackwater contamination poses real health risk, unlike clean-water leaks, which is why it needs a different protocol.

Porous materials that contacted blackwater usually need to be removed and disposed of, since they can't be fully disinfected.

Compliant, registered products are standard on every sewage job.

We don't close the file until air and surface checks pass.

Often yes, especially for sudden sewer backups, though coverage varies by policy — we can help document the loss for your claim.

We recommend calling right away rather than attempting any cleanup yourself given the biohazard involved.
