What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A basement may look clean while moisture sits inside wall bases. The crew measures those layers and starts drying after Category 3 cleaning.
- 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.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Bowmansville was built in the 1950s. Age alone does not tell the technician where wastewater went. New finishes wait until affected structure is dry.
