What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Keep children, pets and visitors outside contaminated rooms.
- Stop using toilets, showers, sinks and laundry until a septic company evaluates the system.
- Avoid touching sewage, wet carpeting or exposed electrical equipment.
- Photograph visible damage from a dry, safe location.
- Move clean belongings only when the route does not cross wastewater.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Roughly 27% of the local housing stock was built before 1960, but material readings still control cleanup decisions. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Norfolk was built in the 1970s. Older vinyl and newer overlay flooring may hide damp backing. Porous surfaces need assessment when Category 3 water touches them.
A low drain can overflow in winter as in any season; the crew maps where wastewater traveled.
