A septic backup can happen without warning—but what you do in the next 30 minutes makes all the difference.
1. Stop Using All Water Immediately
Prevent further flooding by shutting down washing machines, showers, and sinks.
2. Check the Lowest Drain in Your Home
If water is coming up through tubs or floor drains, your tank is full or your main line is blocked.
3. Don’t Try DIY Fixes
Store-bought chemicals damage your system and make professional repair more expensive.
4. Keep Children and Pets Away
Wastewater contains harmful bacteria—avoid contact until a professional arrives.
5. Call an Emergency Septic Technician
We respond fast, pump the tank, clear the line, and restore normal flow safely and professionally.
Backups never fix themselves. The longer you wait, the more damage spreads.
