How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Temperance

1. Contain the contaminated area

   The Temperance assessor notes the drain or fixture where wastewater emerged. A septic company handles the source while interior work is planned.

   Suitable equipment lifts pooled wastewater from the Temperance floor. The crew checks low spots and edges after bulk removal.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Stop running laundry, showers, toilets and sinks until the septic company addresses the cause.
• Do not enter standing sewage to unplug equipment or reach electrical controls.
• Describe the visible depth and any affected utility equipment from a safe position.
