Sewer or septic first, then the right repair
Quick answer
Is my Greenacres home on sewer or septic?
It could be either. The city's sewer planning element describes residents served by Palm Beach County Water Utilities sewer and others on private septic tanks, and the city has been extending sewer into the Original Section. Your county utility bill shows whether you pay for sewer. Call Du-All Plumbing at 561-623-3111.

A city in the middle of a septic-to-sewer change
Greenacres does not run its own sewer utility. The city's utilities page points residents to Palm Beach County Water Utilities for water and sewer service. Its 2017 infrastructure element on sanitary sewer described a split: most residents served by county sewer, and a smaller share on private septic tanks, mostly older single-family homes, with septic noted in the Original Section, Sherwood Forest, Pine Country and Sunland Estates at that time. Since then, the city has been working to bring sewer to the Original Section. A January 2024 city council special meeting packet described septic systems serving about 1,170 residential units there, and the city's site lists a bid for Original Section Sewer North Phase 4 published in January 2026. Those records describe a program in progress, not the status of any one house. A home on a given street may already be connected, may be scheduled or may still be on septic. That is the first thing to settle before any sewer line repair, because it decides what the private line connects to and who to call about the other end.
What changes when a Greenacres home connects to sewer?
When a septic home is connected to public sewer, the building line that used to run to a tank is redirected toward a new connection at or near the street. The county or the city's contractor handles the public part. The private line from the house to that connection is generally the owner's to arrange and maintain, though the details of any program should come from the city or the county.
If your home was connected recently, keep the paperwork that shows where the new connection is and who did the work. If problems start soon after a connection, tell whoever handled it first. If the trouble is in an older part of the building line that was left in place, we can inspect it and tell you what we find.
What about the old tank and pipes left in the yard?
A home that has switched to sewer may still have an old tank or old piping in the yard. How a tank is handled after connection is a matter for the program and for the county health department's septic rules, not something we assume. We mention it because old piping can confuse the picture when tracing a line, and because nobody should open or enter an old tank.
If you are unsure whether your property still has a tank, or whether it was properly closed, ask the city or county. If your home is still on septic, our septic tank pumping in Greenacres page covers the tank side, and a backup may come from the tank or drainfield rather than the building line.
Is a repeat backup a clog or a damaged sewer line?
Original Du-All material notes that the main line runs to the public sewer or to the septic tank, that debris builds up in it over time and that tree roots can break through pipe walls. The first problem calls for clearing. The second leaves a defect behind even after the roots are cut.
A single blockage after unusual use, with no repeat, points toward a clog. A backup that keeps returning, roots that come back quickly, soil or pipe pieces in the debris, or a soggy strip of yard along the route point toward damage. None proves the cause by itself. We clear the line when needed, inspect it and report what was visible, what was only partly visible and what we could not reach.

Who do I call about a Greenacres sewer backup?
For homes on county sewer, Palm Beach County Water Utilities lists a 24-hour emergency hotline using the official contact details, and sewer back-ups and complaints are among the emergencies it takes. Call the county if several homes are affected, if wastewater is coming from a public structure, or if you are unsure whether the problem is on the county's side.
If the trouble is limited to your home, the private line is more likely the source. Stop using water, keep children and pets away from any sewage and do not open a cleanout that may be holding wastewater under pressure. Then call us. For homes on septic, the county utility is not involved in the tank, so call a septic professional or us.
Planning a sewer line repair in Greenacres neighborhoods
An older single-family lot may have mature trees, fences, sheds and driveways between the house and the street. Newly connected homes may also have a fresh line in one part of the yard and an older one closer to the house. We locate the route before planning any work and mark the likely work area.
If the defect is in one place with sound pipe around it, a section repair often makes sense. Several problems along the run, or pipe that is breaking down along its length, lean toward replacing more. Where a dig is agreed, the plan should cover the work area, safety, the pipe being replaced and a flow check before cover. Sod or paving may need separate restoration, which we confirm first.
Buying or selling while the neighborhood converts
In parts of Greenacres where sewer is being extended, a home's status can be the most important plumbing question in a sale. Buyers should ask whether the property is on septic or sewer, whether a connection is planned or complete, and whether any connection costs or obligations remain with the property. The city and county are the right sources for program details; we do not speak for either.
Sellers can make things easier by gathering connection paperwork, septic pumping records and any notes from past line clearing. An inspection of the private line can add facts about its condition, though it will not predict every future problem. Clear records shorten negotiations and help the next owner know what to call about.
Burrowing owls and digging in Greenacres
Greenacres has a park named for the burrowing owl on Sherwood Forest Boulevard, and the birds are a familiar part of South Florida lawns. If you notice a burrow in the yard near the line, mention it before any excavation is planned so the work area can be discussed with you. We do not move or disturb wildlife, and we would rather plan around a burrow than find it during a dig.
During a backup: what not to do
Do not keep flushing to test whether the line has cleared. Do not pour chemical drain cleaners into a backed-up line, since they can splash and do not repair a broken pipe. Do not open a full cleanout or an old septic tank lid. Keep people and pets away from any wastewater and let a professional handle cleanup if sewage has reached floors or walls.
