        "text": "While both involve water, sewage cleanup (Category 3 water damage) involves highly contaminated water containing human waste, bacteria, viruses, and other hazardous materials, posing severe health risks. Water damage restoration (Category 1 or 2) deals with clean or grey water, which carries fewer immediate health threats. Sewage cleanup requires specialized containment, personal protective equipment, and advanced disinfection protocols not typically needed for clean water damage to ensure safety.",
