Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary causes of a septic backup?

‍Backups are often caused by a full septic tank, a clogged or "saturated" drain field, or a blockage in the main line connecting the house to the tank.

How quickly should I call for professional help?

‍You should call immediately. Septic waste contains high concentrations of bacteria that can cause illness within hours of exposure and permanently damage your property's value.

What is the best method for removing the waste?

‍We use high-powered, professional extraction units designed specifically for heavy bio-waste to ensure no residue is left behind.

Is it safe to stay in the house after a septic backup?

‍Depending on the size and location of the backup, we may recommend temporary relocation while we perform the initial extraction and heavy disinfection for your safety.

Can you repair the structural damage as well?

‍Yes. We are a full-service restoration company. Once the area is dry and sterile, our construction team can replace flooring, drywall, and cabinetry.

How do you deal with the intense odors?

‍We use industrial-grade odor neutralizers and air scrubbers that break down organic odor molecules rather than just masking them with perfumes.

Are your emergency services available 24/7 in Calgary?

‍Absolutely. Septic failures are unpredictable, so our emergency crews are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

How can I prevent this from happening again?

‍We can provide guidance on proper maintenance schedules, such as regular pumping and avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items that can clog your system.
