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.
