When your septic backs up

Sewage coming up a drain, a toilet that will not clear, a tank alarm going off, or wet ground over the drain field, all of it points to a system that needs attention now. The longer it sits, the more it backs into the house and the bigger the cleanup. We pump the tank down to stop the backup, then figure out why it happened so it does not come right back.

What to do right now

  • Stop running water. No flushing, laundry, dishwasher, or showers. Every gallon that goes in is a gallon that can come back up.
  • Keep people and pets away from any sewage or saturated ground. It is a health hazard, not just a mess.
  • Open a window if there are sewer odors inside, and do not run fans that push the smell deeper into the house.
  • Call us. Troy (618) 667-1099 or Belleville (618) 222-1333. Tell us what you are seeing and we will get moving.

What we handle

Sewage and septic backups into the house, overflowing or alarming tanks, full tanks that were overdue, and effluent surfacing over the drain field. Most backups trace back to a tank that should have been pumped, but they can also come from a clogged line or a failing baffle. We see all of it on residential and commercial systems, and we tell you straight what we found and what it will take to fix.

Emergency septic questions

My septic is backing up — what do I do right now?
Stop running water in the house. No more flushing, laundry, dishwasher, or showers. Keep people and pets away from any sewage or wet ground, open a window for air, and call us. The less water that goes in, the less comes back up while we get to you.
Do you offer same-day service?
Yes, same day when the calendar allows. Our hours are Monday through Friday, 7am to 4pm. Call early and we will do everything we can to get out to you that day. A backup is the kind of job we move to the front of the line.
What does a septic backup usually mean?
Most of the time it is a full tank that was overdue for pumping, but it can also be a clog in the line, a failing baffle, or a drain field that is surfacing. We pump it down to stop the backup, then look at why it happened so it does not come right back.
How fast can you get to me in Troy or Belleville?
Troy and Belleville are home turf, so we are usually close by. During business hours we can often be out the same day. The real owner shows up and gets to work, not a subcontractor you have never met.
