How Septic Backup in Shower Cleanup Works in Ketchikan

1. Extract standing sewage water

   The technician checks whether wastewater moved beyond the visible puddle, then expands extraction as needed.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   Technicians compare suspect materials with dry areas to define the drying scope.

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

   The drying specialist tracks material readings until the job goals are met.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A basement may look clean while moisture sits inside wall bases. The crew measures those layers and starts drying after Category 3 cleaning.

• 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.
• Avoid splashing water or using household chemicals on the spill.
• Take photos from a dry doorway if the view is safe.
