How Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Works in Ettrick

2. Extract the sewage water

   A backed-up shower may spill beyond its enclosure in Ettrick. Extraction extends to every affected floor section.

• 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.
