SIGNS YOU MIGHT NEED
Austin Septic Emergency?
A septic emergency in Austin is sewage going where it shouldn't: inside the house or across the yard. See one of these? Call us now.
Any Of These Happening To You?
Sewage rising in a tub or toilet?
Floor drains backing up?
Alarm on and drains backing up?
Sewage surfacing in the yard?
Business system down, doors shut?
Alarm on but every drain still working? That can usually wait until morning.
Before We Get There
What To Do Right Now
01
Stop The Water
Hold off on showers, laundry and flushing. Every gallon you run heads for a tank that's already full.
02
Mute The Alarm
If the alarm is sounding, press mute on the control panel. That quiets the noise but leaves the cause.
03
Try The Breaker Once
Find the breaker for the septic system. If it tripped, reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off.
04
Keep Everyone Clear
Keep kids and pets away from any wet or overflowing spot, don't touch the sewage, then give us a call.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What Emergency Septic Pumping Costs
A night, weekend or holiday call costs more than a weekday visit. If you're on an Advantage Plan, your call fee is lower. Here's what to expect when you call.
How soon
Call us with what you're seeing, and we'll tell you what your options are. Nights, weekends and holidays included; you hear on the phone when a truck can be there.
Up front
You hear the call fee on the phone before anyone comes out, so you can say yes or no first.
What we do
We empty the tank so your drains work tonight. If a part failed, you'll know before it's fixed, not after.
Emergencies Around Austin
Beeping Alarm Or Backed-Up After Rain? Here's Why.
West of I-35, trouble often starts with a beeping alarm or spray heads that quit. Thin soil over limestone means most systems here are aerobic, with pumps and aerators that wear. When we pump one, we look over the aerator, spray heads and control panel too.
East of I-35, it tends to come after heavy rain, when every drain slows at once. Houston Black clay barely drains, so a soaked drainfield has no spare room. Call us before you run more water, and we'll work out what your system needs.
Emergency Pumping When The Tank Has Nowhere To Go
When the whole house backs up together, the tank is often full. Emergency septic tank pumping empties it so your drains work again. We find the tank and dig to the lids, and we warn you before any deep digging, so there's nothing for you to locate in the dark. On an aerobic unit we don't pump the tank completely dry, because the bacteria left in it are what treat the water.
Sewage Backups And Emergency Septic Repair In Austin
Sometimes the tank isn't the problem. A pump has quit, a float is stuck or a wire has failed, and the system can't move water on its own. Call us and describe what's going on, and we'll tell you over the phone what you most likely need. You approve any repair before we start it, so the decision stays yours.
