Emergency Septic Service — Tomball FAQs

A septic emergency is any situation that poses an immediate risk to health, property, or the environment. This includes sewage backing up into your home, sewage surfacing in the yard where people may walk, a system that is completely non-functional during high water use, or a major component failure that leaves the home uninhabitable. A persistent red alarm light alone may or may not be an emergency depending on the cause — but it should be addressed promptly.

Minimize water use immediately — no laundry, dishwasher, long showers, or unnecessary flushes. If sewage is backing up into the house, try to stop using affected fixtures. Don't attempt to dig up or open the septic tank yourself. Keep children and pets away from any areas where sewage may be surfacing. If there's a power issue with the control panel, a licensed electrician may need to be involved in addition to the septic provider.
