How Septic Backup Flood Cleanup Works in Pacifica
-
Remove standing water

-
Map moisture
A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.

Remove soaked material
The crew opens wet wall areas when access is needed for drying. A technician records the material taken out.

- Stop using plumbing fixtures.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
