What to do right now
- Stop using water. No flushing, showers, laundry or dishwasher until the problem is found.
- Keep people and pets away from sewage inside and any wet area over the tank or drain field.
- Don’t use drain cleaners. They can damage the system and won’t fix a full tank.
- If you have a septic alarm, note whether it’s sounding. Don’t keep resetting it.

Common questions
Is emergency septic service more expensive?
Often, yes. After-hours and weekend calls usually cost more than a scheduled visit. Ask about the price on the phone before the truck is sent.
Will homeowners insurance cover it?
It depends on your policy and the cause. Many policies exclude septic failures from lack of maintenance. Check with your insurer.
