What to do right now
- Stop running water: no laundry, dishwasher or showers.
- Keep people and pets away from any sewage.
- Do not open the tank yourself. The gases are dangerous.
- If a pump alarm is sounding, check the breaker and silence the alarm, but leave the pump off until it is checked.
After storms
Heavy rain can flood the drainfield and make a system back up even if nothing is broken. A technician can tell you whether to wait it out or pump.
Emergency pricing
After-hours calls usually cost more. Ask for the price before the truck rolls.
Availability depends on partner companies. If we cannot reach an emergency-capable company, we will tell you right away so you can keep calling.
Frequently asked questions
Is sewage in the house an emergency?
Yes. Stop water use, keep people away, and call for service. Contact a restoration company for cleanup if sewage reached living areas.
