How Septic Overflow Cleanup Works in Gustavus

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

4. Dry and record retained structure

   Drying begins after contaminated material is addressed in Gustavus. The work record includes equipment, readings and removed layers.
