Absolute Pumping

By 1900, there were only two cities in the United States with populations of 100,000 or more that had sewage treatment plants, and by 1926, only twenty had them, even though the connection between health and contaminated drinking water was well known.

It's important to get your sewer line cleaned right away anytime you suspect there may be buildup, like if you smell sewage or water drains slowly. Having a sewer contractor come in before sewage backs up will save you time and money in cleanup and repairs.

Times change. It was once common practice to connect rain downspouts to sewer lines running under house foundations. Unfortunately whenever a pipe broke, it had the potential to cause messy sewer backups and costly damage to the foundation.
