How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Dexter

Hard surfaces can be sanitized after gross sewage is taken out. In Dexter, the crew also checks adjoining construction for moisture that cleaning cannot remove.

1. Contain the contaminated area

   The Dexter assessor notes the drain or fixture where wastewater emerged. A septic company handles the source while interior work is planned.

2. Extract the sewage water

   The Dexter crew removes reachable liquid first so it stops soaking into porous finishes. Hidden wet layers are assessed next.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   A Dexter wall base that absorbed wastewater may need to be opened. Suitable hard materials receive cleaning and sanitizing.

4. Dry and record retained structure

   Drying begins after contaminated material is addressed in Dexter. The work record includes equipment, readings and removed layers.
