What Counts as a Sewer Emergency?
If sewage is coming inside your home or water won’t drain anywhere in the house, that’s an emergency.
Common emergency signs include:
Sewage backing up into tubs or showers
All drains clogging at the same time
Toilet water rising high or overflowing
Strong sewage smells inside the home
Gurgling sounds in every drain
Water spilling from a floor drain
Flooding in the yard from the sewer line
Basement or crawl space filling with wastewater
If it feels urgent, it probably is.
Why Sewer Emergencies Happen
Most sewer emergencies come from:
Tree roots blocking the line
A clogged main sewer pipe
Grease buildup
Wipes and paper jams
A collapsed clay pipe
Heavy rain overwhelming old sewer lines
Large root balls in older neighborhoods
A broken cleanout or damaged connection
Homes in Berkeley Hills, Oakland, and Hayward Hills deal with a lot of root problems because of older trees and old clay pipes.
How We Handle Emergency Sewer Calls
We keep the process simple—even when the situation is stressful.
1. Fast Response
We show up quickly because sewer backups can cause serious damage fast.
2. Identify the Problem
We check the main sewer line first.
Most emergency blockages happen there.
3. Clear the Line
We use:
Snaking tools
Hydro-jetting (for tough blockages)
Root-cutting heads
We clear the pipe so everything flows again.
4. Camera Inspection (Optional but helpful)
Once the line is open, many homeowners want to see what caused the issue.
A quick camera check helps you understand the real problem.
5. Talk Through Next Steps
We explain everything in simple words and tell you if the issue needs a long-term fix or just a cleaning.
No pressure. No scare tactics.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait During a Sewer Backup
Ignoring an emergency sewer issue can lead to:
Floor damage
Mold
Ruined carpets
Bad smells
Wall damage
Water contamination
Foundation problems
Plus, sewer water is unsafe.
It’s better to handle it right away.
Real Story: Middle of the Night Emergency
A couple in Oakland’s Temescal district woke up to water pouring out of a floor drain. They tried plunging, but nothing helped. They called us at 1 a.m.
When we arrived, the entire sewer line was blocked by roots.
We cleared it, jetted the line, and showed them the root problem on camera.Their reaction:
“We’re so glad someone answered the phone.”
This is why we offer emergency sewer service—these problems can’t wait.
