How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Broad Run

1. Extract standing sewage water

   Before drying begins, technicians pull out pooled sewage and mark the contaminated floor area.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   Technicians compare suspect materials with dry areas to define the drying scope.

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

   Before new finishes are planned, technicians verify the affected assembly has dried.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Prompt moisture mapping helps identify hidden layers before they stay wet longer.

• 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.
