What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Sewage water can reach insulation that will not dry safely in place. Removing affected porous material gives the remaining structure a path to dry.
- 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 359 housing units across the mapped area include many floor plans, so crews assess each loss on site. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Jacksonville was built in the 1970s. Basement conversions from this era can add finished walls near low drains. Protective extraction follows the contamination path, not a construction date.
Snow and ice outside do not reveal how much contamination reached indoor flooring.
