Yes, sewage is Category 3 blackwater and carries bacteria and pathogens that require full PPE and specialized disinfection.
Porous materials that contacted blackwater usually need to be removed and disposed of, since they can't be fully disinfected.
We use EPA-registered antimicrobial products specifically rated for blackwater contamination.
We verify air quality and complete surface disinfection checks before signing off.
We recommend checking your specific policy, and we'll support the claim with proper documentation either way.
