If a septic system was flooded
EPA advises against pumping a septic tank while the drainfield is flooded or saturated. Do not open the tank or dig into a flooded drainfield. Contact the local health department and ask a trained specialist to inspect suspected damage.
Assess the building separately
When it is safe to enter, ask a qualified professional which indoor materials were affected and what cleanup and drying are proposed. An indoor drying plan does not establish that a flooded well or septic system is safe.
