A loss involving wastewater backing up from a septic system may reach bathrooms, basement floors and low drains. Common calls involve septic backup in house, septic overflow in basement, and septic backup in shower. The visible wet spot rarely shows the full path.

For a toilet overflow, the source must be controlled first. A water damage technician then checks contamination and removes water from affected rooms.

How Septic Backup Flood Water Removal Works in Laporte

1. Remove the standing water

3. Open what holds water

   Contaminated porous materials often require careful removal.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily checks show whether wet framing is moving toward its drying goal.

• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
