How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Marion

Hard surfaces can be sanitized after gross sewage is taken out. In Marion, the crew also checks adjoining construction for moisture that cleaning cannot remove.

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