Frequently Asked Questions
A septic emergency is any situation that threatens your home’s sanitation or property safety. This includes raw sewage backing up into your drains, a loud septic alarm siren, or major surfacing of waste in your yard. If you cannot flush your toilets or use your water without risk of overflow, it is time to call for 24-hour service.
We prioritize emergency calls and aim for the fastest response times in the Michiana area. Because we are locally based in South Bend and Niles, we can typically dispatch a technician to your home or business shortly after your call, regardless of the time of day or night.
Emergency services performed outside of standard business hours (nights, weekends, and holidays) typically carry a diagnostic or after-hours fee. However, at 1-2-3 Septic Services, we provide transparent pricing upfront so you aren't surprised by the bill while dealing with a stressful situation.
First, silence the alarm (usually a button on the side of the control box). Second, stop using water immediately. An alarm usually indicates a pump failure or a high water level in the tank. If you continue to run water, you risk a backup into your house. Call us right away to diagnose the electrical or mechanical issue.
Yes. We understand that a grease trap overflow or septic failure can force a restaurant or business to shut down, resulting in lost revenue. We offer 24/7 emergency grease trap cleaning and commercial septic pumping to get your business back in compliance and back to work as quickly as possible.
