What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Keep everyone upstairs and away from the contaminated stairway.

- Stop using household drains until a septic company checks the system.
- Leave wet electrical and utility equipment untouched.
- Photograph the water level from a dry, safe position.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
An estimated 81% of local homes are owner-occupied; owners should check backup coverage under their own policy. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Arcanum was built in the 1960s. Basement conversions from this era can add finished walls near low drains. Protective extraction follows the contamination path, not a construction date.
Frozen ground may affect a specialist approach to the system, but it does not change Category 3 precautions inside.
