What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

- Keep the bathroom closed to children and pets.
- Stop using showers, toilets, sinks and laundry until the septic system is checked.
- Do not step into the shower or handle sewage-soaked towels.
- Avoid splashing water or using household chemicals on the spill.
- Take photos from a dry doorway if the view is safe.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
The Erie ZIP areas contain roughly 37,107 residents, so an indoor backup can affect households in many building types. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Erie was built in the 2000s. Cabinet bases and wall trim can absorb water in a recently built home. Sanitizing begins after wastewater is removed from reachable areas.
During sustained cold, keep fixtures unused after a backup and contact the septic company about the source.
