What Septic Overflow in Basement Cleanup Includes in Bridgeport

• 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.
• Leave wet cartons and rugs in place for the crew to assess and document.
