When A Sewer Problem Is An Emergency
Some drain issues can wait for a regular appointment, but others need attention as soon as possible. Knowing the difference helps you protect your property and the people in it. A true emergency is usually tied to the main sewer line, not just a single slow drain.
Common signs that you may have an emergency sewer backup in Los Angeles that property owners should not ignore include sewage coming from multiple drains at once, wastewater appearing in a tub or shower that was not in use, or a downstairs drain backing up when you run water upstairs. A strong sewage odor inside the building can also indicate a serious problem.
While you wait for help, a few steps can reduce additional damage and protect your health. Stop running water anywhere in the building, including appliances that drain to the sewer line. Keep children and pets away from affected areas. Avoid using store-bought drain chemicals, which can sit in the line and make professional work more difficult or hazardous.
Simple actions to take before our team arrives include:
- Stop using dishwashers, washing machines, and other appliances that use water.
- Avoid flushing toilets that are slow or already backing up.
- Keep people away from floors or rooms where sewage is present.
- Move belongings off the floor if it can be done safely and without contact with sewage.
If you see any of these emergency signs, calling promptly gives our team more time to help you prevent further damage and to talk you through what to expect when we arrive.
