An emergency call in Lakebay after days of backing up. A 1950s house with no as-built drawing, a first compartment completely full, about 600 gallons pumped, a gap along the bottom of the divider wall, and a soft patch in the yard that smells and grows nothing.
An emergency call in Woodinville where the homeowner needed the system relieved quickly. Both the two-compartment septic tank and the pump tank were pumped out on the same visit.
An emergency call in Gig Harbor after a junction box fell into the pump tank. The tank was flooded, smoke and sparking were seen once the pump was run, and about 1,200 gallons were pumped to reach the lid at the bottom. The electrical was left for a qualified professional.
A Redmond homeowner with recurring backups, gurgling fixtures and sewage odors. The two-compartment tank was flooded, the outlet baffle filter was clogged, and the outlet baffle transport line has settled severely, which is what keeps flooding the tank. Both tanks pumped and the filter cleaned; the transport line still needs addressing.
Flooding in the elevator shafts brought us out to a Seattle healthcare center. Our crew ran approximately six hoses over 200 feet to reach the work area, then pumped and cleaned every elevator pit and catch basin.

King County Public Health inspected food businesses 71,580 times between January 2024 and September 2026, and closed 27 of them. For restaurant plumbing the real risk is not the citation - it is the backup that stops service, and the closure that follows.
