Sewage and Overflows quote in Jamesville

Tell us what the water is doing, whether it has stopped and whose home it is. A person reads every request and matches it to a licensed, insured plumber for the part that cannot wait. We cannot promise how soon a request sent at night is read, so close the main shutoff first.

Would you rather talk it through? Call (315) 640-3590.

Once you press send

A person reads it. It is not sold to lead buyers and it is not an auto-reply: someone looks at whether the water has stopped, what is near power or gas, and whose home it is.
Your request goes to a licensed, insured plumber who works your town, who contacts you on the number you give. If it sounds like the utility's pipe rather than yours, you are told that instead.
There is no phone number on this site yet. We would rather say so than print one we cannot vouch for, so the form is the way in. While you wait, keep the main shutoff closed and photograph everything before it is moved.

Five entries are mandatory: name, phone number, email, the property's street address and its ZIP code. The questions and the message box can be skipped. The ZIP code picks the plumber who covers that town, the street line tells them which house, and the address never appears in our logs.

Local Detail

The county sewer route for a Jamesville backup

Snowy Syracuse-area residential street with older houses and a distant church steeple

Onondaga County WEP asks residents with sewage backing up to call 315-435-3157, which it answers at any time, every day, for properties connected to the public sewer inside the Consolidated Sanitary District. For City of Syracuse properties it directs the call to the City Department of Public Works on 315-448-CITY, 315-448-2489, and outside the district to the town or village, usually its DPW. Properties not on public sewer are told to contact a licensed plumber or service expert.

WEP states that its team inspects the public side of the sewer system, usually through the sewer cleanout or vent pipe, the mushroom cap in the yard, out to the road and into the public sewer. Its backup prevention page invites residents or their licensed plumber to call the same line to request an inspection if a problem may be in the public sewer.

Local Context

First steps at a Jamesville backup

Sewage is rising through a Jamesville drain. Stop using water in the house. If the home is on public sewer, WEP takes backup calls at any hour on 315-435-3157 and checks the public side first. If it is not, WEP's own advice is to contact a licensed plumber or service expert.

Deciding

Jamesville: sewer or septic decides the first call

If you are not sure which the house has, treat it as private and start with the plumber. Either way, photograph where the water came up and how high before cleanup.
