How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Palmyra

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

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Once contaminated materials are removed, remaining damp structure needs controlled drying. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials.

• 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.
