Report a Sewer Problem
Emergency Dispatch For Sewer Problems
Call us first if you’re experiencing a sewer problem, including a slow drain, backup, or odors you believe may be coming from the sewer system. Our crews are available 24/7 to help our customers and respond to concerns.
As a SacSewer customer, you receive 24/7 service in the event of a sewer problem. This is part of the monthly sewer rate you pay. When you call us—day, night, weekend, or holiday—our goal is to be there within two hours to check our portion of the sewer pipe.
Our maintenance crews will inspect the problem, and if it’s in our portion of the pipe, we will repair it at no cost to you. If the problem is in the privately owned portion of the pipe, we’ll help you figure out the next steps.
