What Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Includes in Holabird

The Holabird cleanup crew documents the water path during septic overflow in basement cleanup. Photos and material notes support a clear work record.

Two kinds of work may be necessary at a Holabird property. The septic specialist finds why flow stopped, while the restoration crew handles Category 3 water within the building.

• 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.
• Leave wet cartons and rugs in place for the crew to assess and document.
