Is Sewage Considered a Biohazard?

Why black water is handled differently from a clean water leak.

Black water

Sewage and contaminated water may contain harmful biological contaminants and should be handled carefully. It is categorically different from a clean supply-line leak.

Porous materials

Carpet, padding, drywall and other porous materials touched by sewage are generally removed rather than dried in place.

Sanitation afterward

Remaining surfaces are cleaned, disinfected and deodorized before repairs begin.
