How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Delta

1. Contain the contaminated area

   A Delta technician identifies the sewage path and limits movement through dry rooms. Protective gear and controlled access help the crew begin safely.

2. Extract the sewage water

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

4. Dry and record retained structure

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Stay upstairs and keep other occupants away from contaminated stairs.
• Stop running laundry, showers, toilets and sinks until the septic company addresses the cause.
• Do not enter standing sewage to unplug equipment or reach electrical controls.
• Describe the visible depth and any affected utility equipment from a safe position.
