24/7 Emergency Service
Sewage backing up does not wait for business hours. Neither do we.
A sewage backup is a health hazard, not an inconvenience, and every hour it sits raises both the contamination risk and the restoration bill. Our emergency line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year including holidays, and in most of our service area we can have a technician on site within one to two hours.
We do not add an after-hours surcharge. A main-line backup at 11pm on a Sunday is quoted the same way it would be on a Tuesday afternoon — flat rate, priced before the work starts. Charging a premium to a homeowner standing in sewage is not how we want to run a business.
If you are dealing with an active backup right now: stop running water anywhere in the house, including washing machines and dishwashers, since every gallon added has nowhere to go. Keep people and pets away from the affected area. Then call. We will talk you through anything worth doing before we arrive.
Signs you need this
- Sewage backing up into a tub, shower or floor drain

24/7 Emergency Sewer & Drain Service — common questions
No. Emergency calls are quoted at the same flat rates as scheduled work. The price you are quoted before we start is the price you pay, regardless of what time the phone rang.
Stop using water anywhere in the house — that includes the washing machine and dishwasher, since every gallon you add has nowhere to go and makes the backup worse. Keep people and pets clear of the affected area. If the problem is a burst pressurised line and you can safely reach your main shutoff, close it.
In most of Montgomery and Prince George’s County we are on site within one to two hours of your call. When we are further out than that, we tell you an honest arrival window on the phone rather than an optimistic one.
