- Keep the bathroom closed to children and pets.
- Stop using showers, toilets, sinks and laundry until the septic system is checked.
- Do not step into the shower or handle sewage-soaked towels.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Around 3% of homes were built in 2000 or later; newer rooms can still hold contaminated water beneath flooring. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Pelham was built in the years before 1940. Older Pelham houses can have layers of flooring that conceal sewage beneath a recent finish. The crew checks the actual layers before selecting removal and drying.
During sustained cold, keep fixtures unused after a backup and contact the septic company about the source.
