What Sewage in Basement Cleanup Includes in Basin

Wastewater on a basement floor can reach carpet pad, wallboard and stored belongings before it looks deep. Sewage is Category 3 water, so contaminated porous materials usually come out rather than being dried in place.

When wastewater rises through a floor drain, call for both plumbing attention and basement cleanup. Each crew has a different scope. A dry path into the lower level helps workers avoid tracking contamination upstairs.

How Sewage in Basement Cleanup Works in Basin

1. Remove standing sewage

• Keep children and pets out of the contaminated basement.
• Avoid outlets, appliances and electrical cords that touch the water.
• Stop using plumbing fixtures until a plumber addresses the blockage.
• Photograph the water level and damaged property from a dry area.
