How Septic Tank Backup Cleanup Works in New Lexington

A basement may look clean while moisture sits inside wall bases. The crew measures those layers and starts drying after Category 3 cleaning.

1. Extract standing sewage water

   Before drying begins, technicians pull out pooled sewage and mark the contaminated floor area.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   The crew traces the overflow path from the fixture into adjoining materials.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Removal exposes wet framing and subfloor sections that surface cleaning cannot reach.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   The crew records temperature, humidity and material condition through the dry-out.
