24/7 Emergency Septic Service in Fort Myers & Lee County

Septic emergencies happen at the worst possible times — and every minute matters. Certified Septic is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to respond fast when you need us most. Don't wait. Call us now.

When to Call for Emergency Septic Service

Some septic problems can wait for a regular appointment. Others cannot. Call us immediately if you experience any of the following:

  • Raw sewage backup into your home through toilets, drains, or floor drains
  • Sewage surfacing in your yard
  • Complete failure of a lift station pump
  • ATU alarm going off and system not functioning
  • Strong sewage odors inside the home
  • A completely blocked main line
  • Visible overflow from your septic tank

How We Handle Emergencies

When you call our emergency line, a live team member answers — not a voicemail. We triage your situation immediately, dispatch the nearest available technician, and give you an honest ETA. Our trucks are fully stocked for the most common emergency repairs so we can often resolve the problem in a single visit.

Emergency Services We Provide

  • Emergency septic tank pump-out
  • Sewage backup response and cleanup coordination
  • Lift station pump failure and repair
  • ATU alarm response and emergency repair
  • Main line blockage clearance
  • Temporary bypass solutions when needed

What to Do While You Wait

Stop using all water in the home — toilets, sinks, showers, laundry. This prevents additional sewage from entering an already overwhelmed system. Keep children and pets away from any sewage that has surfaced outdoors. Do not attempt to open the septic tank yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an extra charge for after-hours emergency calls?

Emergency rates may apply for after-hours service. We'll be upfront about any additional charges before we dispatch so there are no surprises.

How fast can you get to me?

For most of Lee County, we can reach you within 1–3 hours for genuine emergencies, often faster. Response time depends on current call volume and your location.

What if the problem is on a weekend or holiday?

We are available 365 days a year including all holidays. Septic systems don't take days off and neither do we.

Can you help with the cleanup after a sewage backup?

We handle the septic system side of the problem. For interior sewage cleanup, we can refer you to licensed remediation contractors who specialize in water and sewage damage.
