Common questions
- What should I do right now?
- Stop running water, keep children and pets away from wet areas, and have the tank lid location ready for the crew.
- Is a backup always a full tank?
- No. It can also be a blocked line or a failed pump. The crew can usually tell within minutes of opening the tank.
- Should I use chemicals to clear the backup?
- No. Drain chemicals can harm the bacteria in the tank and damage the system.
