- 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.

Is septic overflow in basement cleanup urgent when water is shallow?
Yes. Category 3 water can enter seams and padding even when the visible depth is low.
