For septic backup in shower cleanup in Challenge, suitable hard surfaces can be cleaned and sanitized after gross contamination is removed. Retained structure is then dried.
The shower is often one of the lowest openings in a home's drain system. When a septic problem pushes wastewater back through that opening, the stall may fill before a toilet overflows. Dirty water can cross the shower threshold, reach towels or bath mats and settle below bathroom fixtures.
Calling only for tank work leaves a Challenge wet room untreated. Call (888) 557-1733 for Category 3 extraction, material handling and structural drying.
