How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Biddeford Pool

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

   Cleaning work follows the documented contamination path, not just the most visible stain.

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

The crew checks humidity and material moisture as the job proceeds. Prompt drying reduces the time wet surfaces remain favorable for mold growth.

• 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.
