Floodwater and sewage contamination

Flooding in Texas often pushes sewage into basements and lower floors. Sewage is Category 3 water, so affected porous materials are removed and the area is disinfected.

Storm contamination

Storm surge and flooding in Texas carry sewage and debris into homes, which calls for biohazard procedures rather than ordinary cleaning.

Recent history in Texas

Hurricane Harvey in 2017 caused catastrophic flooding in the Houston area. Events like these are why sewage cleanup needs fast, thorough work and careful documentation for insurance.

Regulations

Biohazardous and medical waste are regulated primarily at the state level in Texas, and workplace cleanup is subject to the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. Cleanup should use trained technicians and compliant disposal.
