How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in New Hampton

1. Extract standing sewage water

   The technician checks whether wastewater moved beyond the visible puddle, then expands extraction as needed.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   A meter helps locate damp building layers after the visible sewage is gone.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   The technician explains why each affected material stays or leaves during Category 3 cleanup.

4. Dry the structure and verify

• Stop using household drains until a septic company checks the system.
• Leave wet electrical and utility equipment untouched.
