        "text": "The primary difference lies in the contamination level. Regular water damage cleanup deals with 'clean' (Category 1) or 'grey' (Category 2) water, which may pose minimal to some health risks. Sewage cleanup, however, addresses 'black' water (Category 3), which is grossly unsanitary and contains pathogenic agents. This necessitates more aggressive containment, specialized protective gear, extensive disinfection protocols, and often the removal of porous materials that cannot be safely decontaminated, making it a more complex and hazardous process.",
