ProcedureWe need to check the village sewer main to make sure that your problem is not ours. People often call plumbers only to find out that the village sewer main is backed up, thereby incurring a needless expense. Simply calling us for advice on how to proceed is a good idea before you enter into an expensive repair. ResponsibilitiesPlease understand the village’s responsibility is the sewer main only. The resident is responsible for their entire sewer service all the way to the main regardless of where that main is located. Please see Village Code 4-11-2. Sewer-Related ProblemsTrees - Tree roots are a fairly common problem that can plague residents. We always recommend you call the village for a list of licensed and bonded contractors so you know that you are getting a reputable company to do this work. Flooding - Flooded basements are still a problem in the village, but we feel the frequency of these incidents is not what it once was, due to the projects we initiate.
