Sewage backing up into sinks, tubs, or toilets
Fast, Reliable Emergency Septic Pumping When Your System Can’t Wait
A septic backup or overflowing tank does not wait for business hours, and neither do we.
A septic emergency usually announces itself fast: slow drains suddenly stop draining at all, sewage backs up into a tub or toilet, or standing water and a foul smell show up in the yard over the drain field. These are signs the tank has reached capacity, a line is blocked, or the system has failed outright. Brookside Septic Tank Service has answered these calls across Jefferson County since 1969, so we know how quickly a small warning sign can turn into a full septic tank overflow.
Emergency septic pumping is exactly what it sounds like: getting a pump truck to your property fast to relieve pressure on an overwhelmed tank before sewage backs up into the home or floods the yard. This is urgent septic pumping, not routine maintenance, and it calls for a crew that can assess the problem on arrival and get the tank pumped without delay.
We limit our emergency response to pumping service, so we can move quickly and get to the root of the problem: relieving the tank, checking the baffles and outlet, and giving you a clear read on what caused the backup.
If your household or business is dealing with any of the following, it is time to call for emergency septic service rather than waiting for a scheduled appointment.
