Emergency septic service is for septic trouble that cannot wait until Monday, like sewage coming up a basement drain. As part of our septic services in Mishawaka, we take 24-hour emergency calls across St. Joseph County and Elkhart County. Weekend emergency calls are a big part of that work. Call (574) 254-7667, and the office or the on-call crew answers.
When the tank is full or spilling over at the lid, our pump trucks bring the level down. Then we look for what caused the backup. An overdue tank calls for routine septic tank pumping from then on. A failed part calls for a repair, and we put that quote in writing.

Stop running water in the house, and hold off on laundry and showers. Every flush sends more water toward a tank with nowhere to put it. Check for a toilet that keeps running, too. The EPA says one running toilet can add as much as 200 gallons of water a day.
Leave the tank lid closed, and keep children and pets away from any sewage. Septic tanks can hold dangerous gases, and the EPA says only trained specialists should clean or repair one.
Skip the chemical drain opener, even if a sink is the first thing to back up. Harsh chemicals can kill the organisms that treat waste in the tank.
The federal soil survey for St. Joseph County shows a shallow water table under much of Mishawaka. On about 42 percent of the city's land, the seasonal high water table sits within a foot of the surface.
A high water table can send sewage back into the house. The St. Joseph County Department of Health counts slow plumbing after heavy rain among the signs of an ailing system. Plug the basement drains and use as little water as you can until the water drops.
Wet ground changes the pump-out too. The EPA says not to pump a tank in saturated soil, since the tank may pop out of the ground. Keep cars off a soaked drain field as well, because wet soil packs down easily. Tell us on the call if the yard is wet or standing in water.
Pumping is the whole fix when the tank was simply full. If the trouble comes back after a pump-out, the system itself is likely failing. When a system backs up into the house, the tank's outlet is the first place to check.
A clogged effluent filter or a broken baffle can hold sewage back toward the house. Roots in a line or a drain field that stopped taking water make for a bigger job. Those fixes fall under septic repair. In St. Joseph County, the Department of Health requires a permit for any septic repair.
Sometimes the tank is fine and the clog sits in the pipe from the house. Drain cleaning clears that line with a cable or a jetter.

Had a septic emergency and they were able to send a tech out within an hour to clear the tank. Fast, friendly service. Both the dispatcher and the technician were informative and knew exactly what we needed. Highly recommended.
