What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Household fans cannot make untreated sewage safe. The technician first removes contamination, then dries the building to reduce ongoing moisture risk.
- Keep children, pets and visitors outside contaminated rooms.
- Stop using toilets, showers, sinks and laundry until a septic company evaluates the system.
- Avoid touching sewage, wet carpeting or exposed electrical equipment.
- Photograph visible damage from a dry, safe location.
- Move clean belongings only when the route does not cross wastewater.
