The sewer cover in this area was covered with soil over the winter when snowplows came through to clear the snow from the grassy area to locate water/sewer lines. You can no longer see it. It is possible that it needs to be cleaned out based on issues I'm experiencing in my home nearby.
Roto Rooter explained there is a collapsed line near the street. It is causing plumbing issues and water back up from the toilet at 5100 s rogers st.
My sanitary sewer was backed up about a week ago and I did get some sewage water enter my home thru the air conditioner drain in my garage! Was this a city sewer system problem or mine? 704 East Winslow Farm Drive
There is a utility easement between 2736 N Blue Ridge Road and 2730 N Blue Ridge Court - we recently noticed standing, nasty smelling, water running from easement area in side yard of 2736 into yard and driveway of 2730. Please check to see where smelly water is coming from.
We live at 1717 E Hunter Ave and have had water coming in our basement now twice (once last and once this) and both times the water is overflowing out this mainhole down on the corner of E. Hunter Ave and Eastside Drive. The manhole is actually spinning around it's so much water. The address where that is at is 420 S Eastside Drive I think. Not sure if its' related or just a coincidence with all the rain. The bsement floor drains have not backed up in our house, just water coming up through cracks and around edge of foundation.
The street drain cover at the north east corner of our building in the "alley" just west of the Kroger gas station has sunken about a foot! Cars catch their tires. In direct line with said drain the ground above the storm water drain pipe has fallen away and created a 2-3 sinkhole! This is next to the guard rail along Jackson Creek. We are concerned our parking lot will sink next! Thank you. Vickie Temple Davison 812-322-4124 and Kristi Temple Hill 812-322-6657 Owners of Bloomington Hardware
storm drain not draining well, street starting to flood. Slow sewage draining at house (water in basement). suspect backed up main
My roommate and I experienced sewage water expelled from our shower drain at our rental property managed by Granite Student Living on Saturday 1/24/26 when we tried to plunge a toilet. We have had three plumbing companies come out to inspect the line leading out of the house, and the conclusion is that the clay piping has been damaged/collapsed, and there may be further blockages that need the use of a high pressure water jet. We have been told water can slowly flow out of the house, but trying to send solid waste out of the property could cause a repeat of the original incident. Our management has been reluctant to assist us, meaning we have not had reliable access to a toilet on our property because it is the only bathroom. Granite management also informed us that they were unable to help because it was the entire street sewer main that collapsed, but after asking this to city utility maintenance, I was told that was not the issue. I'd like for the outside line to be inspected so our management company will either fix the issue or help find us temporary housing so we have reliable access to a bathroom.
The water in all 3 of our toilet bowls is simultaneously way down below normal. In 2019 we had similar issues in the neighborhood and it was caused by a plugged-up city main. It ended up causing a sewage backup into our basement for which we received compensation from the city.
Strong sewage smell the last several days. And then today, our toilets stopped flushing properly. Nothing in toilets, but water barely goes down.
