What counts as a sewer line emergency?

Sewage backing up into a fixture, especially a tub, shower, or basement floor drain, is an emergency because it puts contaminated water in living space. A complete stoppage with multiple fixtures affected is also urgent, since it means the household has no working drainage. A slow drain in one fixture is not the same emergency, even if it is annoying, and we can usually schedule that for a standard visit instead of dispatching after hours.

  • Sewage in a tub, shower, or floor drain is always treated as urgent
  • Multiple fixtures backing up together means no working drainage in the house
  • A single slow fixture is usually not an emergency dispatch
  • Shutting off water use to all fixtures reduces the backup until we arrive

Call the emergency line when

  • Sewage is actively coming up into a tub, shower, or floor drain
  • Every drain in the house is backed up at once
  • Sewage odor is strong and constant, not occasional
  • Water is pooling in a basement near a floor drain or cleanout
  • A previous repair failed and the backup returned suddenly
