Septic emergencies never happen at a convenient time. When your toilets back up, sewage pools in your yard, or foul odors take over your home, you need help right now, not on Monday morning. Our emergency septic team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We typically respond fast across Ruston, Grambling, Dubach, Vienna, Choudrant, and all of Lincoln Parish.
A septic backup is more than an inconvenience. Raw sewage carries bacteria and poses a real health risk to your family. Sewage standing in your yard damages flooring, walls, and drain fields. The faster you act, the less damage you face. That's why we prioritize emergency calls and keep our trucks ready to roll any time of day or night.
North Louisiana's red clay soil is the problem. When a big thunderstorm rolls through on a July afternoon, hours of heavy rain saturate that clay solid. Water can't percolate. The drain field gets overwhelmed. A system that was barely holding on breaks. Then sewage backs up into your home, and in Louisiana's summer heat, that's a health emergency that can't wait.
We pump dozens of tanks after summer storms. University rental properties near Louisiana Tech. Older homes in Grambling with failing systems. Rural acreage in Vienna and Dubach where the ground is already soggy. We know which systems fail and why.
Stop using water immediately to avoid adding to the backup. Keep everyone away from any pooled sewage. Do not open the tank yourself. Call us and our dispatcher will walk you through it and get a technician headed your way. We arrive with equipment to pump, clear, and diagnose the problem on the spot.
Once the emergency is resolved, we'll recommend a plan to keep it from happening again. Whether that's routine septic pumping or a full system inspection.
