FAQ
About this check
Is this a diagnosis?
No. It sorts what you are describing into three buckets: call now, book a pump-out soon, or nothing urgent. The questions are the same ones a dispatcher asks, so it gets you to the right answer faster than a search.
What counts as an emergency?
Waste water coming up inside the house, or a high-water alarm sounding. Both mean effluent has nowhere to go, and both stay that way until the tank is pumped or the pump is fixed.
Do I have to give my details?
No. The result is shown on screen. Sending your answers to a dispatcher is optional and only worth doing if you want a call back with a price range.
