How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Koyuk

1. Extract standing sewage water

   Before drying begins, technicians pull out pooled sewage and mark the contaminated floor area.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   The assessor records affected wall bases, flooring seams and nearby room edges.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Removal exposes wet framing and subfloor sections that surface cleaning cannot reach.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Equipment placement changes when moisture progress slows or hidden layers need access.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Cleaned tile may hide saturated underlayment. The drying specialist follows material readings to decide when the structure is ready.

• 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.
