How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Detroit

A visible puddle can disappear while wood and drywall still hold moisture in Detroit. Drying equipment and repeat meter checks help the crew assess progress.

1. Contain the contaminated area

   A Category 3 loss in Detroit calls for separation of dirty and clean spaces. The crew plans how to bring equipment in without tracking sewage.

2. Extract the sewage water

   Sewage can sit beneath fixtures and cabinets in Detroit. The technician checks those spaces as water is recovered.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   After extraction in Detroit, the crew addresses residue on retained surfaces. Grossly contaminated materials leave the work area.

4. Dry and record retained structure

   A cleaned surface in Detroit may still have a wet backing. Moisture checks help identify what needs continued drying.
