How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Portola Valley

A wall cavity may retain water even when the face looks dry. The Portola Valley cleanup assessment identifies access needs before drying begins.

1. Contain the contaminated area

   A Category 3 loss in Portola Valley calls for separation of dirty and clean spaces. The crew plans how to bring equipment in without tracking sewage.

2. Extract the sewage water

   The Portola Valley extraction team collects contaminated liquid and follows an appropriate disposal route. A household vacuum is not the cleanup plan.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   A Portola Valley cleanup team handles soaked insulation and absorbent trim carefully. The remaining accessible surfaces are cleaned after removal.

4. Dry and record retained structure

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