How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Galena Park

1. Extract standing sewage water

   Protective gear and controlled access limit contact while Category 3 water is removed.

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 crew cleans hard surfaces after extraction and sanitizes the remaining affected area.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   A completed moisture log helps the owner understand what happened beneath the surface.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

The crew checks humidity and material moisture as the job proceeds. Prompt drying reduces the time wet surfaces remain favorable for mold growth.

• Keep everyone upstairs and away from the contaminated stairway.
• Do not walk through water to shut off basement power.
• Stop using household drains until a septic company checks the system.
• Leave wet electrical and utility equipment untouched.
• Photograph the water level from a dry, safe position.
