Blackwater contamination poses real health risk, unlike clean-water leaks, which is why it needs a different protocol.
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 don't close the file until air and surface checks pass.
