Emergency Septic Service FAQs

Septic emergencies include raw sewage backing up into your home or business, multiple overflowing toilets that don't respond to plunging, sewage gurgling up through drains, repeated drain backups throughout your property, sewage surfacing in your yard, strong sewage odors indoors, septic alarm activation, and pooling wastewater around your septic tank or drain field. During heavy rain seasons (March-May and October-November), watch for soggy areas in your yard that could indicate drain field failure. These situations pose immediate health hazards and risk of property damage, requiring instant professional response. If you're experiencing any of these urgent issues, call our 24/7 emergency line immediately rather than waiting for regular business hours.

We maintain faster response times for Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, San Marcos and surrounding communities. Our dispatchers will give you an accurate ETA when you call and provide text updates if there are any delays. During severe weather events and flooding, response times may be slightly longer, but we prioritize calls based on severity. While waiting for our arrival, we'll guide you through immediate steps to protect your property and minimize exposure to potentially hazardous conditions. Our 24/7 emergency service operates 365 days a year, including major holidays when many other providers are unavailable.

While waiting for our emergency team to arrive, take these immediate protective measures: First, stop all water usage in your home or business - no flushing toilets, running faucets, or using appliances that drain water. Turn off the water at the main supply valve if necessary. Keep children, pets, and elderly residents away from affected areas and any standing water which may contain harmful bacteria. If safe to do so, place towels, sandbags, or barriers to contain overflows and prevent water damage to flooring and walls. Open windows to ventilate affected areas to reduce odors and gas buildup. Take photos for insurance purposes. Do not attempt to open your septic tank, use chemical drain cleaners, or enter standing water, as these actions may worsen the problem or create dangerous health conditions. Our technicians will provide personalized guidance based on your specific emergency when you call.
