Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)
919 N Orris DR
- Case Date:
- 6/10/2020
Strong sewage smell in our kitchen, laundry room and bathroom. The city has come out every year to clear the main sewer pipe running under the easement between our house and the neighbors house. IMPORTANT: Last year the city ran a snake and said there were no blockages. The problem persisted and they came back with a remote camera and saw "All kinds of roots creating blockages" from my neighbors tree. Please learn from the mistakes of last year and bring the video equipment first this year...PLEASE!

913 W Gourley PIKE

For years there has been a strong sewer smell in the this area. (I have paid for plumbers to examine my house and the problem is not in the house.)
As the cable workers have been laying the cable, I asked various if they also smelled the sewer odor and if they knew where it might be coming from.
There were three basic answers: (1) A "lift station" in one of the drains may be faulty; (2) the terrain where sewage may back up at the crest of the hill; and (3) the manhole cover between houses at 909 West Gourley Pike is old and may be corroded so that the sewer gas is able to escape.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

Complex, long-standing problem: water pools and has nowhere to drain to on Woodlawn just north of 12th Street and up against the south side of the RR tracks. This isn't such an issue when the temperature is reasonable, but when it freezes it poses a sliding risk when the train is approaching. Major accident just waiting to happen.
Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)
901 W 11th ST
- Case Date:
- 6/1/2018
There is a stormwater runoff ditch between our house (901 W 11th St) and the neighboring house, 827 W 11th St. I've noticed that after a rainfall, the stormwater that collects in the ditch looks blackish in color, and there is a strong odor of sewage coming from it.
I'm wondering if there is a leak from the sanitary sewer somewhere in the neighborhood, that is spilling into the stormwater sewer.
