Septic emergencies don't call during business hours. Toilets back up at midnight. Heavy rain floods drain fields on weekends. We answer the phone any time, any day of the week, and respond fast.
Citrus County's high water table near lakes and rivers means wet season brings failures. Heavy rain saturates the ground, pushing water tables up. Drain fields that were already struggling get overwhelmed when groundwater rises above them. This is especially common near Crystal River, the Withlacoochee River, and properties adjacent to the Tsala Apopka chain of lakes.
Post-storm is when we get the most calls. If your system was marginal before the rain, it will definitely back up during.
If sewage is surfacing or backing into your house:
In most cases we can respond within 30 to 60 minutes. Citrus County is small enough that we can cover from Inverness to Hernando fast. During major weather events, response may be longer if our trucks are already deployed, but we prioritize active sewage hazards.
Emergency service costs more than scheduled work. That is standard everywhere. If we can resolve it with a pump-out, we give you a straight estimate on the phone before we start work. Bigger problems like drain field failure or system damage get diagnosed while we are there, and then we quote repair options.
