        "text": "A simple toilet overflow usually involves clean water (Category 1) from the tank or a minor clog in the toilet trap, causing water to spill onto the floor. A sewage backup, however, involves contaminated 'black water' (Category 3) containing human waste, pathogens, and often originates from a blockage in the main sewer line beyond the toilet. This means water is backing up from the city sewer or your main drain, making it a much more serious and hazardous situation.",
