Emergencies don't just happen Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Late on a Friday afternoon, a homeowner and small business owner contacted us after sewage backed up onto her basement floor. After investigating the problem, we found the main sewer line was completely blocked with tree roots and needed to be replaced.
Permits were picked up, the lovely excavating crew at Lands Inc was called, and by 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning we were on site and ready to get to work.
This job came with an extra challenge. The damaged sewer line ran directly beneath the roadway, and our goal was to repair it without having to dig up the street. Thanks to Manley's patience and expertise, the assistance of a City Water and Sewer technician, and a lot of hard work from everyone involved, we were able to successfully replace the line without the City needing to excavate the roadway.
We're grateful to our customer for trusting us with the job, keeping us fueled with some delicious homemade treats throughout the day, and for her patience while we got everything back in working order.
