        "text": "Sewer backup cleanup is a specialized form of water damage restoration because it involves Category 3 'black water,' which is grossly contaminated and poses severe health risks. Unlike clean water (Category 1) or gray water (Category 2), sewage requires extensive disinfection protocols, removal of all porous contaminated materials, and strict containment to prevent cross-contamination. The primary difference lies in the biohazard remediation aspect and the heightened safety measures required.",
