Items recovered by sewer workers from the system pipes include toys, sheets, balls, oil cans, soda cans and bottles, bricks, limbs, lawn clippings and much more. Sewer water flowing from stools and drains are also an indication of sewer problems. After normal business hours, call 321-2182 . Do not flush stools, run dishwashers or clothes washers or run water into drains. If sewage is flowing into the residence, it is, in most cases, helpful to remove the cap from the residential service line clean-out located adjacent to the structure.
Sanitary sewage is a health hazard.
If you experience a back-up, be very careful to avoid contact with sewer materials, which may carry infectious diseases such as hepatitis and salmonella. If you want professional help in cleaning, look in the Yellow Pages under Carpet Cleaning. Avoid contact with raw material, and be particularly careful of your face and eyes. Goggles are recommended when you are using a hose. Protect all cuts and scrapes.
