How Septic Tank Backup Cleanup Works in Galena

Closed cabinets trap damp air after a backup. The technician checks their bases and the floor below instead of judging the room by odor.

1. Extract standing sewage water

2. Map contamination and moisture

   A room diagram can mark contaminated surfaces and the moisture boundary for the job record.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   The technician explains why each affected material stays or leaves during Category 3 cleanup.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Equipment placement changes when moisture progress slows or hidden layers need access.
