        "text": "You should always call a professional for any sewage backup, regardless of its size. Sewage, or blackwater, contains highly dangerous bacteria, viruses, and fungi that pose severe health risks. DIY cleanup attempts can expose you to these pathogens and often fail to thoroughly decontaminate the area, leading to lingering odors, mold growth, and continued health hazards. Professionals have specialized equipment, training, and protective gear to safely and effectively handle sewage cleanup and sanitization.",
