Schedule Emergency Service

Emergency Septic Pumping Services

We understand that septic emergencies can occur anytime. Whether it’s 2pm or 2am, our emergency response team mobilizes quickly. We specialize in stabilizing commercial-scale crises, addressing:

  • Septic tank overflows. Issues with septic tanks overflowing can threaten building operations and create immediate health hazards requiring rapid response.
  • Leach field failures. When leach fields become saturated or clogged, immediate pumping takes the pressure off the septic system and stops the tanks from overflowing.
  • System backups. Wastewater backing up into your facility creates unsanitary conditions that hinder operations.
  • Holding tank overflow situations. Overflowing holding tanks require immediate pumping to prevent environmental contamination.
  • Grease trap emergencies. Food service facilities facing grease trap overflow need swift attention in order to keep operations running smoothly and maintain health code compliance.


Our rapid response minimizes business interruption while addressing the immediate problem and identifying underlying causes. Our team is equipped with specialized equipment for commercial-scale emergencies, from high-capacity vacuum trucks to high-pressure water jetting systems that can clear stubborn blockages preventing proper drainage.

What to Do While You Wait

Taking immediate action protects your facility and prevents the emergency from escalating before our truck arrives. Follow these steps as soon as you notice signs of septic system failure.

Stop Using Water Immediately

Halt all water usage throughout your facility to prevent additional wastewater from entering an already overwhelmed system. This includes:

  • Dishwashing and food preparation. Suspend any kitchen operations requiring water drainage.
  • Flushing toilets. Direct occupants to alternative facilities if available.
  • Laundry operations. Stop industrial laundry processes or washing machines.
  • Wastewater-generating processes. Halt any industrial operations that produce wastewater.

Every gallon of additional wastewater can worsen the situation. Communicate clearly with staff and customers about temporary facility limitations.

Protect Your Property

Safeguard your facility and inventory from potential damage through the following:

  • Move valuable equipment, inventory, or materials away from drains showing backup.
  • Place barriers or absorbent materials around affected areas to contain the spread.
  • Restrict access to contaminated areas to prevent health exposure.
