Septic Tank Overflow
When a septic system backs up, everything stops. Toilets won’t flush, drains gurgle, and you may notice foul odors seeping up from sinks or yard drains. We understand that panic—standing ankle-deep in a shower that won’t drain, watching wastewater creep where it doesn’t belong. That’s why we move fast. Our emergency response is guaranteed, and we arrive ready to pump your tank, clear blockages, and stabilize your system so your home can function again.
In many backups, a full tank, a clogged inlet or outlet baffle, or a saturated drainfield is to blame. We start with a focused inspection: lifting lids, checking scum and sludge levels, probing lines, and listening for that telltale surge when the baffle is blocked. Then we pump—thoroughly—not just skimming the top but evacuating solids and liquid, breaking up compacted sludge, and rinsing to restore flow. If the issue’s in the line, we can jet or snake to relieve the choke point and keep wastewater moving where it should.
Speed matters, but so does safeguarding your property. We protect floors, set down containment where we work, and keep trucks positioned to minimize yard impact. After the emergency pump-out, we walk you through what happened—signs we saw in the tank, whether the drainfield is overwhelmed, and immediate steps to prevent a repeat. From single-family homes to small businesses, we serve the Petaluma area and surrounding communities with rapid, decisive septic relief when a backup can’t wait.
