How far does sewage spread inside a Greenhurst house?
It runs to the lowest level, then wicks up drywall and into subfloors. Moisture meters and thermal imaging show how far it went.
Who do I call in Chautauqua County about a blocked sewer main?
The city or county sewer department looks after the public main. If your plumber finds the stoppage out in the street, call the department to report it.

It can. Rain can overload the sewer main, and the lowest drains in houses take the backflow. If your basement drain gurgles during a storm, call a plumber.
