Emergency Backups and Overflows
Fast help when sewage is coming up where it should not.
A backup will not wait until Monday. If sewage is coming up in a tub, a floor drain or the yard, stop using water and call us.
We get the immediate problem under control first, then find out what caused it so it does not happen again.

Questions about emergency backups and overflows
What should I do during a septic backup?
Stop using water straight away. That means no flushing, showers, laundry or dishwasher. Keep children and pets away from any sewage, and do not open the tank yourself because the gases inside are dangerous. Then call us.
