How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Whitmore

1. Contain the contaminated area

   Before equipment enters a Whitmore room, the team checks electrical conditions and contamination. Occupants remain away from the wastewater.

2. Extract the sewage water

4. Dry and record retained structure

   A Whitmore crew uses airflow and dehumidification where the retained materials and conditions support it. Repeat checks track progress.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

The longer a Whitmore floor assembly stays damp, the more material may need attention. Call 24/7 for removal and a measured dry-out.

• Stay upstairs and keep other occupants away from contaminated stairs.
• 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.
