What to Do During a Septic Emergency
Take these immediate steps while waiting for our emergency team
Ensure Safety First
Keep family and pets away from affected areas. Do not enter flooded basements or areas with raw sewage without proper protection.
Stop Water Usage
Turn off all water to prevent additional backup. Do not use toilets, sinks, or drains until the emergency is resolved.
Call Immediately
Contact us right away at (909) 946-2702. Describe the situation clearly so we can bring the right equipment and be prepared.
Document the Problem
Take photos if safe to do so. This helps our team understand the situation before arrival and speeds up the resolution process.
Preventing Emergency Situations
Regular maintenance and early intervention can prevent costly emergencies
Regular Pumping
Schedule septic tank pumping every 3-5 years. Don't wait for warning signs - preventive pumping is much less expensive than emergency service.
Monitor for Warning Signs
Watch for slow drains, sewage odors, or lush grass over the drain field. Address these issues before they become emergencies.
Water Conservation
Conserve water to prevent overloading your system. Fix leaks promptly and spread water usage throughout the week when possible.
Avoid Harmful Materials
Never flush chemicals, feminine hygiene products, or excessive amounts of food waste. These can cause blockages and system damage.
Root Management
Keep trees with aggressive root systems away from your sewer lines. Consider root barriers for existing trees near your system.
Regular Inspections
Schedule annual septic system inspections to catch potential problems before they become emergencies.
