Good questions

Septic Tank Backup in Lake San Marcos, answered

Pinhole leaks in aging copper supply lines start small but expand suddenly under water pressure. As they grow, they allow backflow and can overwhelm sewer lines, pushing sewage back into the home through drains.

Most homeowners policies cover sudden sewer backups. Crews bill your carrier directly after claim approval, so you avoid out-of-pocket costs for professional cleanup and restoration work.
