Limit Wastewater
Pause laundry and other avoidable water use. Keep clear of exposed sewage and secure the affected area.
Describe the Symptoms
Share the address, alarm status, affected drains and whether the problem follows rain or a power outage.
Confirm Access
Identify gates, slopes and known lids. Avoid driving over a field to reach a tank.
Assess Pumping
Pumping may provide temporary storage but will not correct every blockage or field failure.
Plan the Follow-Up
Arrange diagnosis and any required DEQ repair approval. Emergency work has specific rules; it is not a blanket permit exemption.
