How Septic Tank Backup Cleanup Works in Orrstown

Sewage water can reach insulation that will not dry safely in place. Removing affected porous material gives the remaining structure a path to dry.

1. Extract standing sewage water

2. Map contamination and moisture

   The crew traces the overflow path from the fixture into adjoining materials.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Contaminated carpet padding or insulation often comes out before the structure is dried.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   The crew records temperature, humidity and material condition through the dry-out.
