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.
