How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Coplay

1. Extract standing sewage water

   Standing sewage is removed from the home before cleaning and structural drying begin.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   A room diagram can mark contaminated surfaces and the moisture boundary for the job record.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   The technician explains why each affected material stays or leaves during Category 3 cleanup.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Before new finishes are planned, technicians verify the affected assembly has dried.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

The crew checks humidity and material moisture as the job proceeds. Prompt drying reduces the time wet surfaces remain favorable for mold growth.

• Keep everyone upstairs and away from the contaminated stairway.
• Do not walk through water to shut off basement power.
• Stop using household drains until a septic company checks the system.
• Leave wet electrical and utility equipment untouched.
• Photograph the water level from a dry, safe position.
