Emergency Septic Service FAQ
What should I do while I wait?
Stop using water in the house. Don't flush, shower, run the dishwasher or do laundry. Keep kids and pets away from any sewage, and don't try to clean it with bleach and a mop until the cause is fixed.
Is a septic backup covered by homeowners insurance?
It depends on your policy. Many policies exclude septic failure but some cover the resulting water damage. Take photos before cleanup and call your insurer.
Do you really answer at night and on weekends?
Yes. Calls to our number are routed to the on-call technician 24/7.
