Gray water can carry soap, food and bacteria. If it sits for a day or two, it is treated more like black water.

Contaminated carpet is extracted first to reduce weight and dripping, then removed in sections and disposed of properly.
Sewage Backup Water Removal
After a sewage backup, carpet, pad and lower drywall that soaked it up are removed, and hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected.
