Sewer Backups

Residents and businesses are responsible for the portion of pipe that runs from their home to the City easement. If you are having a sewer problem in your home, first determine if it is within your household plumbing. If your neighbor across the street does not have a problem or if only some drains are affected, then the problem is within your home and you should call a plumber. Tree roots tend to be the most common problem with these lines. If water is coming up in the house when no water is being used, the problem is most likely in the city main sewer line.
