- Keep everyone upstairs and away from the contaminated stairway.
- Do not walk through water to shut off basement power.
- Stop using household drains until a septic company checks the system.
- Leave wet electrical and utility equipment untouched.
- Photograph the water level from a dry, safe position.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
About 75% of homes in the mapped Wilsey ZIP codes predate 1980; older finishes may hide later remodels. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Wilsey was built in the 1950s. Wall and floor assemblies in older buildings can be difficult to see from the surface. Sanitizing begins after wastewater is removed from reachable areas.
Changing weather does not tell the crew which floor layers absorbed wastewater.
