What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Keep the bathroom closed to children and pets.
- Stop using showers, toilets, sinks and laundry until the septic system is checked.
- Do not step into the shower or handle sewage-soaked towels.
- Avoid splashing water or using household chemicals on the spill.
- Take photos from a dry doorway if the view is safe.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 78% of the local housing stock was built before 1960, but material readings still control cleanup decisions. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Elco was built in the 1940s. In homes from earlier construction periods, a backup may reach basement storage and wall bases. Protective extraction follows the contamination path, not a construction date.
Frozen ground may affect a specialist approach to the system, but it does not change Category 3 precautions inside.
