How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Overton

1. Extract standing sewage water

   Protective gear and controlled access limit contact while Category 3 water is removed.

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

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• 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.
