Septic Backup

- Gurgling drains
- Slow drains
- Toilets that won’t flush
- Water that backs up into your tub or shower
In most cases, a septic backup indicates you need to have your septic tank pumped out. At American Waste Septic, we’re ready and waiting to help you with this service while providing superior customer care every step of the way. There’s a reason why people in Greenville, South Carolina, continue to turn to us for their septic needs, and it all comes down to the way we treat our customers.
While septic backups are sometimes inevitable, there are steps you can take to prevent them from occurring so your system continues to run effectively and efficiently. First and foremost, only flush toilet paper down into your drains to keep additional waste from clogging up your system. Second, make septic pumping a priority and plan to have this service performed approximately every three years, as this is the South Carolina D.H.E.C. recommendation.
