How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Shickshinny

2. Extract the sewage water

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

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

4. Dry and record retained structure

   A Shickshinny crew uses airflow and dehumidification where the retained materials and conditions support it. Repeat checks track progress.
