Black Water Contamination in Rosemary Beach?

3/1/2022 (Permalink)

A baby is playing with toilet paper in a bathroom. We clean and restore sewer backups in Okaloosa County.

The baby did it?

I thought the kids were being quiet – too quiet. When I investigated and found them in the bathroom flushing things away, the older kids bolted, throwing the baby under the bus!

SERVPRO of Destin, Seaside, Freeport’s restoration technicians have years of experience restoring areas compromised by sewer backups in Rosemary Beach. Here are the three types of water contamination we address:

Category 1: “Clean Water”

This is water from a clean source, such as a broken clean water supply line or faucet.

  • Water from a clean source like a broken water line
  • If left untreated, it can degrade into a category two or three

Category 2: “Gray Water”

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

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
