How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Castalia

Humidity rises as wet materials release water into a Castalia room. Dehumidification collects that vapor while airflow helps accessible surfaces dry.

2. Extract the sewage water

   Sewage can sit beneath fixtures and cabinets in Castalia. The technician checks those spaces as water is recovered.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

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

4. Dry and record retained structure

   A cleaned surface in Castalia may still have a wet backing. Moisture checks help identify what needs continued drying.
