Is Palm Bay on sewer or septic?
More than half of Palm Bay homes run on private septic tanks. Yours might too.
The city runs its own water and sewer utility. But the pipes never reached huge parts of town. Port Malabar, the southwest, and the northwest still sit on septic. The city is converting streets to sewer year by year. Until your street converts, your tank and drain field are on you.
On septic and backing up? Stop using water and call now.
What is the septic to sewer conversion?
Palm Bay is moving thousands of homes from septic to city sewer. Your street may be next.
The city approved a plan to connect about 2,000 septic properties to the sewer system. The Turkey Creek basin got a $7 million project for 99 homes. Grant money from the Save Our Indian River Lagoon program helps pay for it. If your home converts, you get off the tank for good. If it has not converted yet, keep your septic pumped and watch for backups after heavy rain.
Why do septic backups spike after rain?
Rain fills the ground. Full ground shuts your drain field down. Sewage has nowhere to go but back inside.
Palm Bay sits low and flat. Big storms soak the soil for days. A drain field cannot drain into full ground. The tank fills. The lowest drain in your house takes the hit. This is why septic backups cluster after every tropical system.
What should I never do during a backup?
Do this
- Shut the door to the wet room.
- Take photos before you touch anything.
- Move valuables you can lift safely.
- Note if it happens when it rains.
Never do this
- Never run a fan. It spreads dirty air.
- Never mix bleach with other cleaners.
- Never pour drain cleaner in a backed up drain.
- Never keep flushing to test it.

What about the Port Malabar pipe project?
Palm Bay is replacing a risky sewer pipe in Port Malabar. It should mean fewer spills.
In 2026 the city approved $2.8 million to replace an asbestos cement force main. The old pipe sat high on the city’s risk list. Crews will swap the full section, not patch it. Until the work finishes, Port Malabar streets near the project may see service work. Backups during construction are rare but possible.
The longer sewage sits, the deeper it soaks into floors and walls.

Does insurance cover sewage backup?
Most policies do not cover it. You need a backup endorsement on your policy.
Flood damage from storms needs separate flood insurance. Full walkthrough: claim guide.
- Take photos and video before cleanup starts.
- Do not throw anything away until your adjuster says so.
- Ask your agent about backup coverage and flood coverage.
- Ask us for moisture readings and an itemized invoice.
- Note dates and rainfall for storm linked backups.
Do you pump septic tanks?
No. We clean up inside your home.
We pump out the spill. We disinfect and dry. Tank pumping needs a septic company. Call one and call us at the same time.
How fast can you get here?
Our target is 30 to 45 minutes. Real timing depends on where you are.
Storms and traffic can slow us down. Dispatch gives you a real window on the call. We never leave you guessing.
How do I lower my risk of another backup?
You cannot control the water table. You can control your drains.
Never pour grease down the drain. It hardens and catches debris.
Flush only toilet paper. Wipes clog lines even when the pack says flushable.
Know where your main sewer cleanout sits. Crews need it fast.
Ask a plumber about a backwater valve. It can stop street surges from entering your home.
Watch for gurgling drains and sewage smells after rain. Call early.
If your street floods often, ask the city about the main line.
Fix dripping faucets and running toilets. Extra water strains the line.
Can I stay in my home during cleanup?
It depends on how far the sewage spread.
One contained room: often yes, with the door shut. Sewage across living areas: stay elsewhere until we finish. Your dispatcher will advise on the call.
How long does drying take?
Most jobs dry in two to four days.
Thick materials and deep soaking take longer. We check moisture at several depths before we call it done.
What does Category 3 black water mean?
It means the water carries sewage and harmful germs.
It is not safe to touch. Everything it soaked needs removal or pro-grade disinfection. Gloves and boots are not enough for it.
Do you work with my insurance adjuster?
Yes. We document everything.
Photos, moisture readings, removed materials, and timeline. You get an itemized invoice your adjuster can use.
What if the backup came from the street main?
We still clean up inside your home.
Report the main to the city as well. Keep your photos and our invoice for any claim.
I’m renting. Who pays for sewage cleanup?
Usually the landlord handles building issues.
Tell them right away and document everything. Call us for the cleanup itself. We bill whoever hires us.
