What Happens When We Get There
First, we stop the backup. Most of the time that means pumping the tank. Then we look for the reason it happened. It might be a full tank, a clogged line, a broken pump or a drain field that is failing. We explain what we found and what your choices are.
If a bigger repair is needed, see our septic repair in Commerce and drain field repair pages.
Emergency FAQ
Do you really answer at night and on weekends? Yes. Our emergency line is answered 24/7.
Can heavy rain cause a backup? Yes. When the ground is soaked, the drain field cannot take more water, and the tank can back up. Cutting back on water use can help until we get there.
How can I keep this from happening again? Pump your tank every 3 to 5 years and keep wipes, grease and trash out of your drains. See our septic pumping in Commerce page.
Do you offer financing? Financing may be available for larger jobs. See our financing page.
