How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Tomkins Cove

1. Extract standing sewage water

   Standing sewage is removed from the home before cleaning and structural drying begin.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   Moisture readings show whether a seemingly dry surface still hides wet backing.

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

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