How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Ovando

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 crew traces the overflow path from the fixture into adjoining materials.

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

• Stop using household drains until a septic company checks the system.
