How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Topmost

1. Extract standing sewage water

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

2. Map contamination and moisture

   Moisture readings show whether a seemingly dry surface still hides wet backing.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Porous materials that cannot be restored are removed using protective methods.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Dehumidifiers and air movers address the remaining wet structure after sanitizing.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Household fans cannot make untreated sewage safe. The technician first removes contamination, then dries the building to reduce ongoing moisture risk.

• 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.
