How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Tarentum

Hard surfaces can be sanitized after gross sewage is taken out. In Tarentum, the crew also checks adjoining construction for moisture that cleaning cannot remove.

1. Contain the contaminated area

   A Tarentum 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

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

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   A Tarentum wall base that absorbed wastewater may need to be opened. Suitable hard materials receive cleaning and sanitizing.

4. Dry and record retained structure
