Category 3 sewer water requires sanitation before normal drying. The restoration team removes touched porous material and checks remaining surfaces for moisture. Category identification controls whether porous material can remain in place.
-
Remove the overflow
When the plumber stops additional backup, the crew extracts the existing spill. Category 3 water receives protective handling from the start.

-
Handle affected materials

-
Dry and verify
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the remaining materials after sanitation. The technician compares readings with the dry reference before equipment leaves.
