How Septic Tank Backup Cleanup Works in Canaan

A basement may look clean while moisture sits inside wall bases. The crew measures those layers and starts drying after Category 3 cleaning.

1. Extract standing sewage water

   The technician checks whether wastewater moved beyond the visible puddle, then expands extraction as needed.

2. Map contamination and moisture

   A meter helps locate damp building layers after the visible sewage is gone.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   The crew cleans hard surfaces after extraction and sanitizes the remaining affected area.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   A completed moisture log helps the owner understand what happened beneath the surface.
