What counts as a sewer emergency
Raw sewage rising in the lowest tub, shower or floor drain, multiple fixtures backing up at once, or wastewater surfacing in the yard all point to a blocked or collapsed main lateral rather than a single clogged fixture.
First steps before we arrive
Stop running water, dishwashers and washing machines, keep people and pets away from affected areas, and if you know where it is, open the exterior cleanout cap so sewage relieves outside instead of inside the home.
Stabilize, then diagnose
The line is cleared to restore flow first, then scoped on camera so the permanent fix — spot repair, lining or replacement — is based on what the pipe actually shows, not guesswork made under pressure.
