Sewage and Overflows quote in Solvay

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.

Your details are used only to respond to this request and arrange the service.

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 Solvay 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 lists the municipalities in the Consolidated Sanitary District as the City of Syracuse, the towns of Lysander, Camillus, Manlius, Cicero, Onondaga, Clay, Pompey, DeWitt, Salina, Geddes and Van Buren, and the villages of Camillus, East Syracuse, Fayetteville, Liverpool, Manlius and Solvay. The villages of North Syracuse, Baldwinsville, Marcellus and Skaneateles do not appear on the list.

Local Context

First steps at a Solvay backup

Sewage is rising through a Solvay floor drain. Stop using water in the house, and in a two unit building ask the other flat to stop too. Solvay is in the county's Consolidated Sanitary District, so WEP takes backup calls at any hour on 315-435-3157 and checks the public side first.

Solvay rentals and a backup

Questions

Solvay backup question

Is the backup in Solvay the village's problem or mine?

Solvay is inside the county's Consolidated Sanitary District, so WEP checks the public side of a backup first. Stop using water in the house while that is answered.
