A sewer backup is one of the most stressful plumbing emergencies a homeowner can face — and one of the most important to act on fast. Raw sewage carries bacteria that damage your home and your health, and every hour you wait makes the cleanup more expensive.
Step 1: Stop using water immediately
Don’t flush toilets, run sinks, do laundry, or run the dishwasher. Any water you put down a drain right now has nowhere to go but back into your home.
Step 2: Keep people and pets away from affected areas
Sewage is hazardous. Close the door to the affected room if possible.
Step 3: Call Bells Plumbing
Call (385) 255-8400 right away. A real person answers — not a voicemail. We’ll prioritize you as an emergency and dispatch a licensed plumber the same day.
Step 4: Take photos for your insurance
Document the damage before any cleanup begins. Most homeowner policies cover sewer backups when proper documentation is provided.
