How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Hartshorne

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

   Cleaning work follows the documented contamination path, not just the most visible stain.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   A completed moisture log helps the owner understand what happened beneath the surface.

• 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.
