Stopping the source does not remove sewage already under flooring. A water damage crew handles the affected materials after the septic company addresses the backup.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Sewage water can reach insulation that will not dry safely in place. Removing affected porous material gives the remaining structure a path to dry.
- 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.
