How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Sodus

Humidity rises as wet materials release water into a Sodus room. Dehumidification collects that vapor while airflow helps accessible surfaces dry.

1. Contain the contaminated area

   A Sodus 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

   The Sodus extraction team collects contaminated liquid and follows an appropriate disposal route. A household vacuum is not the cleanup plan.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

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

4. Dry and record retained structure

   A cleaned surface in Sodus may still have a wet backing. Moisture checks help identify what needs continued drying.
