Can the family use another bathroom during the backup?
More water entering the system can push additional sewage into the house. Stop using plumbing fixtures until a septic company evaluates the cause.
Is mopping enough after sewage reaches a floor?
Mopping misses liquid beneath floor edges and cannot restore sewage-soaked porous layers. Wet layers still need evaluation.
