Sewage, black water, and contaminated floodwater are Category 3, requiring full disinfection beyond standard extraction. Our IICRC-certified crew responds 24/7 with EPA-registered protocols and adjuster documentation.
Live dispatcher answers 24/7. A certified crew gets moving toward your Coppell property as soon as one is available.
Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers, Velo PRO air movers, and FLIR thermal imaging on every truck.
Fast extraction and structured drying stop mold before it starts, typically within 24 to 48 hours.
FLIR thermal mapping and moisture meters document every affected zone for your insurance adjuster.
Containment is established on arrival. We assess the full scope with FLIR thermal imaging. Category 3 water migrates into wall cavities and subfloor the same way clean water does, so we classify the event and confirm protocols before any extraction begins.
Truck-mount extractors remove standing Category 3 water. Porous materials that can't be restored, including carpet, padding, and drywall below the waterline, are removed per IICRC S500 Category 3 standards. All contact surfaces receive EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment.
Dri-Eaz Revolution LGR dehumidifiers and Velo PRO air movers dry the structure to ANSI/IICRC S500-2021 moisture goals. HEPA-filtered air scrubbers run throughout the drying period until readings confirm the structure is dry.
Final moisture readings verify drying goals. Complete documentation, including moisture logs, material removal records, and surface treatment records, is delivered to you and your insurance adjuster.
Category 3 water, sewage, floodwater, and black water all require more than extraction and drying. Every surface it touched needs EPA-registered disinfection, and every porous material it soaked needs to come out. We apply the full IICRC S500 Category 3 protocol on every biohazard job, with TDLR-licensed mold remediation added when active growth is present.
Category 3 water damage restoration requires drying to ANSI/IICRC S500-2021 moisture goals and disinfection of every contact surface, not one or the other. We apply EPA-registered disinfection to every surface, run HEPA air scrubbers throughout drying, and deliver Category 3 classification documentation for your adjuster on every job.

Every Category 3 event has the same rule: every surface it touched needs EPA-registered disinfection. Here are the two biohazard scenarios we respond to most.
Problem: A main line blockage can cause sewage backup through floor drains, toilets, and sinks throughout a home. Category 3 contamination affects tile, drywall below the waterline, and subfloor across the lower level.
Our Solution: Containment established on arrival. All affected porous materials removed per Category 3 disposal protocols, with EPA-registered disinfection applied to all contact surfaces. HEPA air scrubbers run throughout drying, with full adjuster documentation delivered.
Problem: Heavy storms can push contaminated floodwater near low-lying parts of Coppell into a first-floor living area. A floodwater source is treated as Category 3 by default, meaning all materials in contact require removal, not just drying.
Our Solution: Category 3 assessment on arrival, with all saturated materials below the waterline removed. EPA-registered disinfection of concrete slab and framing, HEPA filtration throughout drying, and complete documentation including Category 3 classification delivered to the adjuster.
Category 3 water, or black water, is contaminated water carrying bacteria, viruses, and pathogens: sewage, outside floodwater, or water from drainage systems. Standard extraction isn't sufficient. All materials in contact must be disinfected or removed under IICRC S500 protocols.
Sewage backup cleanup is covered if your policy includes a sewer backup endorsement. Basic Texas homeowners policies often exclude sewer backup unless added. Storm-related flooding is covered through NFIP flood insurance, not standard policies. We document the Category 3 classification for your adjuster.
Timing depends on how many rooms are affected and whether water reached under the slab or into wall cavities. We provide daily documentation throughout and confirm drying and disinfection are both verified before calling a job complete.
Not recommended. HEPA air scrubbers manage airborne contaminants but the cleanup process creates exposure risk. For commercial properties, we establish hard containment boundaries to protect occupied adjacent areas. Temporary relocation through your insurance carrier is worth requesting before cleanup begins.
