Emergency Septic Service for Lake Hughes Homes
Lake Hughes is a drive from the valley floor, so the details you give on the phone make a real difference in an emergency. Tell us whether you are along Elizabeth Lake Road, up Lake Hughes Road or out toward Pine Canyon Road, and describe the driveway, any locked gate and where a truck can park. If the lid is under snow, a deck or loose soil, say so. That lets us bring the right hose length and tools, and it keeps us from losing time on a narrow street. We head your way as soon as we can.
Emergencies up here tend to follow a pattern. A full house at a cabin over a holiday weekend overloads a small tank. A hard storm sends runoff into a seepage pit or leach field on a sloped lot until water has nowhere to go and the drains back up. A cold snap slows a shallow line until it stops altogether. Any of these can push sewage into the lowest drain in the house. Until we arrive, stop using water, keep people and pets away from any spill and do not try to open the tank yourself.
When our crew reaches your Lake Hughes property, the first job is pumping the tank down so the house is usable again. Then we look for the reason behind it: a full tank, a blocked line, a broken baffle or a drainage area that has stopped taking water. With homes this close to Lake Hughes, Munz Lake and Elizabeth Lake, we work to contain any spill and clean up the area before we leave. As a locally owned and operated company, we explain what happened and what it will take to keep it from happening again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sewage is backing up at my Lake Hughes cabin and I am not there. What should I do?
Call us and give the address, how to get through any gate and where the lid may be. If a neighbor or caretaker can stop water use in the cabin or let us in, that helps a lot. We will get a truck out as soon as we can and let you know what we find, including whether the cause looks like a full tank or something else.
Can a big storm cause a septic backup in Lake Hughes?
It can. Runoff on sloped lots can saturate the ground around a seepage pit or leach field, and when the soil cannot take more water, household drains may back up. Cutting water use, steering roof and surface runoff away from the drainage area and calling at the first slow drain can help. We can pump the tank to relieve pressure while the ground dries out.
What should I do if sewage is backing up into my house?
Stop using water right away, including toilets, sinks, the washer and the dishwasher, since every gallon adds to the backup. Keep children and pets out of the affected area and avoid contact with the sewage. If a pump alarm is sounding, check the breaker. Then call us so we can get a truck out as soon as we can to pump the system and find the cause.
Is a septic backup always caused by a full tank?
No. A full tank is a common cause, but backups also come from a clog in the line between the house and the tank, a broken inlet baffle, a failed pump in a pump chamber, or a drain field or seepage pit that has stopped absorbing water. That is why we look for the cause after pumping, rather than assuming the job is done once the tank is empty.
