24/7 Emergency Septic Service

Sewage coming up through the shower drain, a tank overflowing into the yard, a septic alarm that will not stop – these are not problems that can wait for business hours. Alabama Septic Tank Services is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (205) 426-1310.

Customers have called us on a Sunday for a full tank and had a technician digging down to the caps that day – and working on the tank after dark until it was done. Others have had a broken pipe replaced within hours of calling. When you call, we give you an honest arrival time; around Bessemer and McCalla that is often the same day.

1. Stop using water – no laundry, dishwasher, showers or flushing until the problem is fixed.
2. Keep children and pets away from any sewage in the yard or the house.
3. Do not open the tank or climb into a pit – septic gases are dangerous.
4. Turn off the power to the pump only if the alarm panel tells you to; otherwise leave it on and let us check it.
5. Call us at (205) 426-1310 and tell us what you see – where the water is coming up and when the tank was last pumped.

• Sewage backing up into tubs, showers, toilets or floor drains.
• Overflowing or full tanks that need to be pumped now.
• Sewage surfacing in the yard over the tank or field lines.
• Septic alarms and failed pumps on systems with a pump chamber.
• Broken or crushed pipes between the house and the tank.
• Collapsed or broken lids that leave the tank open.

Once the emergency is under control, we explain what caused it and how to keep it from happening again – often just regular pumping or a repair of one part.

We answer emergency calls from homeowners, landlords and businesses across Bessemer, McCalla, Hueytown, Hoover, Brookwood and Tuscaloosa. For Tuscaloosa County, the drive is longer – we tell you honestly how soon we can be there.
