What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Soaked building materials can support mold growth if left wet. Extraction, sanitizing and a measured dry-out address the water that remains.
- Keep the bathroom closed to children and pets.
- 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.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
An estimated 67% of local homes are owner-occupied; owners should check backup coverage under their own policy. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Des Moines was built in the 1960s. A mid-century Des Moines home may have several floor finishes over one subfloor. The crew checks the actual layers before selecting removal and drying.
Changing weather does not tell the crew which floor layers absorbed wastewater.
