Can anything be done to prevent sewer back-ups?
If a property owner has experienced a sewer back-up or if the residence or business is located in a low area or is lower than the street level, we suggest that a licensed plumber be consulted about the possibility of installing a backwater prevention device. This device, if properly installed and maintained, can prevent sewer from backing up into a house’s or business’ plumbing. The installation and maintenance of a backwater prevention device is the customer’s responsibility and at the customer’s expense.
