How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Palmetto

After a Category 3 spill in Palmetto, contaminated porous material is removed as needed. The remaining sound structure is dried before new finishes conceal it.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

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

4. Dry and record retained structure
