Do this right now
Before we arrive.
- 1
Stop using water
Every flush, shower, dishwasher, or laundry load pushes more sewage into the house. Turn off the washer and dishwasher if they are running.
- 2
Keep people and pets away
Sewage carries bacteria. Do not walk through it barefoot or clean it up without gloves.
- 3
Skip the chemical drain cleaner
It rarely clears a main line clog and it makes the standing water hazardous for you and the technician.
- 4
Leave the cleanout cap alone
When the line is full, opening the cleanout can release sewage into the yard or garage all at once. Tell us where it is if you know.
Know what you are dealing with
Is it the main line?
- More than one drain is backing up at the same time
- Water comes up in the tub or shower when you flush a toilet
- The lowest drain in the house backs up first
- Drains gurgle or bubble when other fixtures run
- A sewage smell inside or near the cleanout
Common causes
Why it happens.
- Tree roots
- Roots find small cracks and joints in the line and grow until they block it.
- Grease and wipes
- Cooking grease hardens in the pipe and "flushable" wipes snag on it until nothing gets through.
- Broken or collapsed pipe
- Older cast iron and clay lines crack, corrode, or collapse with age and soil movement.
- A sagging section
- When part of the line settles, waste collects in the low spot and builds into a clog.
How we fix it
Flowing tonight, fixed for good.
Main line clearing
We open the line from the cleanout with a cable machine to get your drains flowing again.
More about main line clearingCamera inspection
We run a camera through the line to find what caused the backup, so you know whether it will happen again.
More about camera inspectionHydro jetting
For grease and heavy buildup, 4,000 PSI water scours the pipe walls clean instead of just punching a hole through the clog.

Questions
Sewage backup, answered.
- Is a sewage backup an emergency?
- Yes. A main line clog will not clear on its own, and sewage in the house is a health hazard. Stop using water and call.
- How fast can you get here?
- Our emergency response target is 30 minutes. You'll get an honest arrival window when you call.
- Do you charge more at night or on weekends?
- No. There is no overtime markup. The technician gives you a clear price after diagnosing the problem and waits for your go-ahead before starting.
- Is the sewer line my responsibility or the city's?
- In most East Valley cities, the homeowner is responsible for the line from the house to the city main. A camera inspection shows where the blockage is, so you know who needs to fix it.
- Will homeowners insurance cover a sewage backup?
- It depends on your policy. Many policies only cover sewer backups with a separate endorsement. We can give you a written description of what we found for your claim.
