Category three water is extracted with dedicated professional equipment. All standing water in low spots is completely pumped out and properly disposed of according to health codes.

Septic backup cleanup in Lake San Marcos typically runs $1,500 to $6,000, depending on how much material has to be removed and the size of the affected area. This does not include septic tank pumping or drain field repair, which crews can coordinate separately. Sudden backups are sometimes covered by homeowners insurance, though septic system maintenance itself usually is not.
