How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Forrest

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

1. Contain the contaminated area

   The first Forrest work area follows the visible spill and likely migration routes. Doorways and floor openings help define the affected footprint.

   Porous belongings touched by Forrest sewage are separated for assessment. Contaminated construction is taken out where cleaning is inadequate.
