Wall and floor assemblies in older buildings can be difficult to see from the surface. Sanitizing begins after wastewater is removed from reachable areas.
Frozen ground may affect a specialist approach to the system, but it does not change Category 3 precautions inside. Homeowners with septic systems can discuss maintenance with a specialist after the urgent backup is stopped.
