Our maintenance crews will inspect the problem and if it's in our portion of the pipe we will repair it at no cost to you. If the problem is in the privately-owned portion of the pipe, we will help you figure out the next steps.
You can help prevent sewage stoppages, sewer backups, overflows, and other sewer emergencies by being careful about what you place in your sewer system. For other types of helpful information, please visit the Infiltration and Inflow page and the Fats, Oils & Grease page.
