How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Tate

1. Extract standing sewage water

2. Map contamination and moisture

   A meter helps locate damp building layers after the visible sewage is gone.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   The crew cleans hard surfaces after extraction and sanitizes the remaining affected area.

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

• 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.
