Property owners -
Sewage backups may be the result of a plugged owner’s lateral or a blockage or surcharging in the main sewer. If you have a problem that you suspect may be the result of a sewage back up, LCWSA requests that you first call us to determine if the main sewer line is blocked and is the cause of the problem. Please notify us at (570) 546-8005. This number can be utilized 24 hours per day – 7 days per week. To contact us regarding alarm conditions after hours, please follow the voice prompt to report “After hour Emergencies.”
We will promptly respond to your call, to determine if the problem is in the sewer main.
LCWSA cannot be responsible for work authorized by others that is not useful in solving the owner’s problem. We request your cooperation in these types of situations.
In addition to sewer back-ups, you may experience different types of odors coming from your sewer lines. Besides sanitary sewer line backups it could also indicate the lack of a water trap on your lateral or the lack of a vent trap on your sewer line. Other potential problems include broken laterals or collapsed sewer mains.
What can a property owner do to minimize sewage backups in the basement?
