Sewer backup in the house: plumber or DPU?
Why it happens in Jewett City
The JCDPU's own FAQ says that if you have a sewer backup or drainage issue inside your home, you should contact a licensed plumber first to determine whether the problem is within your property. The borough's freemen own the sewer plant through the DPU.
What to try, and when to call us
Shut off the washer and dishwasher and stop flushing. Once a plumber finds the street side is the problem, bring the DPU in.
