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 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.
- Move clean belongings only when the route does not cross wastewater.

A septic overflow can pass under cabinets installed after the original construction. Moisture readings help show whether the floor assembly is affected.
When temperatures swing, keep fixtures off during an active backup to avoid adding flow.
