Kelowna Sewer Backup & Hydrovac Services
Sewer Backed Up? Here’s What You Need to Do:
-
- If there’s any chance that extension cords, electrical wires or electrical appliances come in contact with the standing water or wet materials, the electrical power must be turned off immediately
- The sewage-contaminated areas must be vacated by anyone not wearing adequate protective equipment (it’s safe to assume that any material or surface touched by sewage is contaminated!)
- Stop flushing the toilets, and turn off any running water on the property (even the water source for building) to stop continued sewage tank entry
- Remove sewage-contaminated materials and contents by placing them outdoors, and protect the clean materials by moving them outside the threat areas
- Open windows and doors to reduce the indoor humidity
Most importantly, call a septic tank service company as soon as possible. While pumping a septic tank will get you some temporary relief, the cause of the sewer backup still needs to be investigated, and the proper septic system service & repairs must be carried out to ensure long term security.

Your Trusted Call for Sewer Backups in the Okanagan
How do you know when things are going wrong? A telltale sign occurs when a septic bed fills up; it will subsequently back up into the tank, which then backs up the pipe that goes from the house. Signs you’ll see in the house include toilets flushing slowly, as well as sinks and showers/tubs not draining. You might also notice that the grass covering the bed could become squishy, and starting to seep a greyish liquid. Unfortunately, you’ll know it when you smell it! When this happens – well, ideally before this all happens – give us a call at the first signs of a backup. Trust us, you won’t want to wait!
We’re experts in being able to recognize and diagnose issues, so our experienced pros will arrive on the scene and get to work right away in troubleshooting the source of the issues and getting things cleaned up straight away.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are some causes for sewer backups?
- What are the health & safety risks of a sewer backup?
- Is a vacuum truck an effective means of remediating a sewer backup? How so?
Sewers can back up as a result of grease, oil and foreign objects down your drains and in your toilets. This can affect residential properties as well as commercial properties. In homes, we’re talking about sewer backups in basement, bathroom floors, shower stalls, bathtubs or sinks. Commercial properties can see sewer backups affecting restaurants, retail stores, offices, warehouses and much more. While backups do happen, there are ways to help prevent sewer backups and mitigate their severity, such as discouraging all occupants of a home or commercial property not to throw foreign objects into the system.
The extent of health risks varies according to the volume of a sewer backup as well as the degree of exposure to it. Raw sewage contains germs, viruses, parasites and bacteria; tetanus affects the nervous system while hepatitis A damages the liver. These can pose significant health risks and contaminate your home, business or property.
From small to large scale operations, from home sewer backups to commercial property sewer backups, vacuum trucks are extremely effective in the cleanup process. They are a fast, safe and reliable means, especially when operated and supervised by experienced professionals. Count on D&L Environmental, your trusted Okanagan vacuum truck pros, to get the job done right.
