How Septic Tank Backup Cleanup Works in Rensselaer

2. Map contamination and moisture

   A room diagram can mark contaminated surfaces and the moisture boundary for the job record.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Contaminated carpet padding or insulation often comes out before the structure is dried.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Dehumidifiers and air movers address the remaining wet structure after sanitizing.
