How Septic Backup in Shower Cleanup Works in Erwin

1. Extract standing sewage water

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

2. Map contamination and moisture

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

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

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

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

• Keep the bathroom closed to children and pets.
• 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.
• Take photos from a dry doorway if the view is safe.
