How Septic Backup in Shower Cleanup Works in Garnavillo

1. Extract standing sewage water

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

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

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

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

• 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.
