WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

We will be inspecting the storm and sanitary mains in the area.

Prior to our inspection, we flush the lines to remove any settled or accumulated material in order to properly inspect the pipes.

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

During flushing residents may experience a bubbling and/or vacuum effect in drains and toilets. It is recommended that residents keep all toilet lids closed and cover any floor drains in order to prevent sewer gases from migrating into homes via internal plumbing.

Traps that hold a volume of water may be displaced during the flushing process, it is possible for the negative pressure created in the sanitary sewer main to draw this water out of the traps and allow sewer gases to enter the home. For this reason, it is important for homeowners to refill these traps by running the water in their sinks and into floor drains after the work has been completed.

HOW LONG WILL YOU TAKE?

We are super quick, should be working in your area for no more than 30 minutes typically.

WHEN WILL YOU BE ON MY STREET?

We typically know where we will start for the day, but its impossible to know where we will finish. We try to estimate as accurately as possible.

That being said, its not a huge deal and most people don’t even know we have been by unless they hear our trucks.
