What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Household fans cannot make untreated sewage safe. The technician first removes contamination, then dries the building to reduce ongoing moisture risk.
- Keep children, pets and visitors outside contaminated rooms.
- Stop using toilets, showers, sinks and laundry until a septic company evaluates the system.
- Avoid touching sewage, wet carpeting or exposed electrical equipment.
- Photograph visible damage from a dry, safe location.
- Move clean belongings only when the route does not cross wastewater.

Can the family use another bathroom during the backup?
More water entering the system can push additional sewage into the house. Stop using plumbing fixtures until a septic company evaluates the cause.
