Sewage and Overflows quote in Salina

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 route and the lease rule for a Salina backup

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.

New York Real Property Law section 235-b provides that in every written or oral residential lease the landlord is deemed to warrant that the premises and common areas are fit for human habitation and free of conditions dangerous, hazardous or detrimental to life, health or safety, except where the condition was caused by the misconduct of the tenant. Any agreement by a tenant waiving or modifying these rights is void as contrary to public policy.

Local Context

First steps at a Salina backup

Sewage is rising through a Salina drain. Stop using water in the house and phone WEP on 315-435-3157, since Salina is in the county's Consolidated Sanitary District. WEP checks the public side before anyone pays a private plumber.

Deciding

Salina rentals and a backup

In a rented Salina home, New York law makes the landlord warrant that the home is fit to live in unless the tenant caused the problem. Tell the owner in writing and photograph where the water came up.

Questions

Salina backup question

Who pays for clearing the drain in a rental?

Normally the owner, unless the tenant caused the blockage. A photograph of what comes out of the drain helps settle that.
