        "text": "The key difference lies in the contamination level. Water damage restoration deals with clean or grey water (Category 1 or 2), which, while damaging, poses fewer immediate health risks. Sewage damage (Category 3), however, involves black water heavily contaminated with human waste, bacteria, viruses, and other hazardous pathogens. This requires more intensive cleaning, specialized disinfection protocols, and often the removal of more affected materials to prevent serious health issues and widespread contamination.",
