There is a sewage backup in my residence, can the city lines in in front of my house be checked immediately? I just had my lines serviced two weeks ago. There is a history of the city line being a problem.

Same situation as case #183127 and maybe #68269. Sidewalk along north side of Cottage Grove and west of Lincoln is wet when it has not rained, and smells of sewage. Starting at Lincoln, walk west. The 12th sidewalk section is wet as are the next (continuing west) ~10 sidewalk sections. Out-of-town property owner.

Unsure what happened with our sewage pipe. Maintenance claimed there was tree roots in the pipe and they “unclogged” it. Our entire basement was filled with sewage and we were told to eat sleep and live in the house.

We have been out of state for the last 4 weeks. We returned a few days ago and our sewer is backing up into the sink. Have you had problems in the area with frozen sewer lines? Thanks…

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.
