Our Yamhill and Tillamook Counties technicians have the specialized training, equipment, and protective gear necessary to safely restore sewer backups and black water contamination in McMinnville. Here are the three classifications of contaminated water:

Category 3: “Black Water”

This water is grossly unsanitary and could cause severe illness or death if ingested, and any contact should be avoided. Sources for category three 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
• Water from flooding rivers or sewer backup

Category 2: “Gray Water”

This water has a significant level of contamination that could cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Sources for category two water may include washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces or dishwasher overflow.

• It May contain bacteria and viruses
• It can quickly degrade into category three if left untreated

Category 1: “Clean Water”
