What is different about emergency pumping in Homestead
No city in the County's 2018 study had more septic systems in trouble than Homestead. Of its 2,305 modelled residential septic parcels, 1,528, about two in three, already reached peak groundwater within 24 inches of the surface. In the rainy season, those drain fields can flood and the house backs up.
After an emergency pump-out we check the tank and lines and tell you honestly whether the drain field can recover. In Homestead the answer is often a raised replacement or, where the city's sewer is available, a connection.
With two in three of Homestead's modelled residential septic parcels within 24 inches of peak groundwater, an emergency pump-out in the wet season may only buy days if the field is flooded. Use as little water as you can until the ground drains, and ask us whether a raised replacement or a sewer connection is the real fix.
