of Hanover will be conducting sewer cleaning and televising in Grunthal & Blumenort.

Blumenort Sewer Cleaning will begin October 5th – 9th
These dates are tentative, as the process may
take longer than anticipated.
STEPS YOU MUST TAKE BEFORE SEWER CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Occasionally during cleaning and inspection,
air pressure in the sewer can cause water to splash out of your toilets, sinks
and drains. Please take the following
precautions to prevent water damage in your home.
Close lids and cover toilet bowls when not in use
Insert drain plugs in all sinks and bathtubs when not in use
Remove all floor mats in bathrooms
Place an old towel around the base of toilets
Cover all basement floor drains
You may put things back as they were when the
equipment has moved off your block.
DURING AND AFTER SEWER CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Sometimes the sewer cleaning and inspection
leaves an odor in the home. If so, run
some water down all sink and bathtub drains, flush toilets, pour a pail of
water into each basement floor drain and open your windows. After a short time the odor should disappear.
For any questions or concerns, please contact
our office at 204-346-7129.
Please
disregard this notice if you live in a rural area not serviced by municipal
sewer.
