How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Richmond

2. Extract the sewage water

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

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

4. Dry and record retained structure

   The Richmond technician compares wet areas with suitable dry references. Slow spots may need more access or adjusted equipment.
