Clogged septic tank on a sunday-what are my options/ obligations?
I can’t find someone yet to come pump it in a Sunday. The toilets and showers are unusable and the family has some kids.
1) what are my options?
2) am I obligated to put them in a hotel until tomorrow when someone should be able to come pump it?
3) there was no warning from them of any issues and no big rain. This is surprising it happened all the sudden
Thoughts / suggestions? This town is not right by a major metroplex so may not have any Sunday options

Sometimes the older septic tanks are too small for the larger family water/sewer demand load. We have a Lakehouse near us that has to have the small septic pumped out every 2nd month after heavy summer rental use. Hopefully you can find the same 24/7 emergency 'You dump, we pump' guys we have here locally. As said above if they stay the backup/damages could be nasty.
