What Septic Backup in Shower Cleanup Includes in White Cloud

• Keep bare feet, children and pets away from the shower and wet bathroom floor.
• Stop flushing toilets and running fixtures tied to the affected septic system.
• Do not step through sewage to reach towels, toiletries or electrical outlets.
• Photograph the shower level and floor spread from a clean doorway if safe.
