What to do if your septic system is backing up

If sewage is coming back into the house or pooling in the yard, treat it as urgent. Stop adding water, keep people and pets away, and call.

Do this first

Stop showers, laundry, and dishwashers. Do not open the tank yourself. Keep kids and pets off wet ground over the field.

Then call

Emergency septic service in Yale is for backups, overflows, and multiple drains failing at once. Call (810) 777-8732.

Why speed matters

Standing sewage is a health risk and can damage floors and the drain field. Fast pumping is cheaper than a failed field.
