How Septic Backup in Shower Cleanup Works in Decatur

   A completed moisture log helps the owner understand what happened beneath the surface.

• 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.
