Septic Tank Overflow
When a septic backup or overflow hits, it’s never subtle—slow drains turn into gurgling sinks, toilets burp up wastewater, and a sour, sewage odor creeps through the house. It’s understood that means your drainfield or tank is overwhelmed, or a blockage has choked the line. In these moments, time matters. We arrive prepared to assess the tank level, check for inlet and outlet clogs, and pinpoint whether the issue stems from a collapsed line, grease buildup, or a sudden hydraulic overload from heavy use or rain.
During an emergency pump-out, we work fast but carefully, setting up hoses to keep mess to a minimum and using high‑capacity vac trucks to pull waste before it spreads further. We’ll monitor backflow at each fixture, crack lids safely, and verify baffles and filters aren’t damaged. If we find roots invading the line or a saturated drainfield pushing effluent back, we’ll explain what’s happening in plain language so you understand why the backup started and how we’re stopping it right now.
Once the immediate overflow is under control, we don’t just pack up and leave. We flush-test lines, check for air gaps, and note any sludge and scum layer imbalances that signal overdue maintenance. Then we share practical steps to reduce the risk of another emergency—staggering laundry loads, watching what goes down the drains, cleaning effluent filters, and scheduling proactive pumping. We serve Des Moines and surrounding areas with round‑the‑clock response so you’re not left dealing with standing sewage, lingering odors, or the risk of damage to flooring, drywall, and landscaping.
