How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Gretna

A visible puddle can disappear while wood and drywall still hold moisture in Gretna. Drying equipment and repeat meter checks help the crew assess progress.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Porous belongings touched by Gretna sewage are separated for assessment. Contaminated construction is taken out where cleaning is inadequate.

4. Dry and record retained structure

   A Gretna crew uses airflow and dehumidification where the retained materials and conditions support it. Repeat checks track progress.
