How Septic Backup in House Cleanup Works in Poteau

• Keep children, pets and visitors outside contaminated rooms.
• Stop using toilets, showers, sinks and laundry until a septic company evaluates the system.
• Avoid touching sewage, wet carpeting or exposed electrical equipment.
• Photograph visible damage from a dry, safe location.
