Lake Arthur sits along US 285 in Chaves County with older single-family homes on larger lots that often rely on septic systems. When a sewage backup hits near Lake Arthur Elementary School or along Main Street, our crews from 305 S Kansas Ave respond with extraction equipment sized for the narrow driveways and irrigation ditches common here. Semi-arid summers bring sudden monsoon rains that overwhelm flat yards and older clay pipes.
Winters stay mild but irrigation runoff from nearby fields can still push water into crawl spaces. We handle sewage water extraction by staging pumps on the shoulder of US 285 first, then moving to backyards where access is tightest. Homes east of the school and along County Road 2 see the most calls after heavy irrigation cycles or rare downpours.

Sewage Backup Cleanup in Lake Arthur, NM — Local Notes
- •Many Lake Arthur homes built before 1970 use clay or cast-iron lines that crack from shifting Chaves County soils, so we camera every line before extraction begins.
- •Flat terrain and irrigation canals along Main Street trap wastewater; we place containment berms on the east side of properties to keep flow from reaching the school grounds.
- •Narrow gravel driveways off US 285 limit truck size, so our smaller extraction units and portable generators fit where larger Roswell rigs cannot.
