If you experience any of the following problems, please contact us:

  • Sewage backing up into your home through the floor drain.
  • Sewage smell outside your home.
  • The manhole cover is missing or offset.
  • The concrete stone has been offset from the inlet.
  • The street or yard has developed a cave-in or settlement near a sanitary or storm sewer.
  • The storm sewer along the street needs to be cleaned or repaired.
  • Illegal discharges, dumping and spills

Urgent situations such as: sewage inside or outside of the house, missing manhole covers, flooded streets or yards will usually be inspected within several hours.

Reports of settlement or cave-ins that have developed in the ground or storm sewers that need to be cleaned will also be inspected, but may take a few weeks.
