- Keep everyone upstairs and away from the contaminated stairway.
- Do not walk through water to shut off basement power.
- Stop using household drains until a septic company checks the system.
- Leave wet electrical and utility equipment untouched.
- Photograph the water level from a dry, safe position.

Around 16% of homes were built in 2000 or later; newer rooms can still hold contaminated water beneath flooring. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Deep Water was built in the 1970s. A septic overflow can pass under cabinets installed after the original construction. Moisture readings help show whether the floor assembly is affected.
Changing weather does not tell the crew which floor layers absorbed wastewater.
