Municipal sewer discharging to the MWRA system (Deer Island Treatment Plant). Your home's lateral — the pipe from the house to the street connection — is generally the owner's responsibility, and it's where we diagnose and repair blockages and breaks.

Good to know about sewer line repair
FEMA recommends having a licensed plumber inspect and clean the sewer lateral from the home to the municipal system to remove debris and tree roots, and notes that many laterals in older homes are clay or cast iron that can be replaced with modern materials resistant to root intrusion, corrosion and fractures.
fema.govFEMA notes backwater valves let wastewater flow out but prevent backups during heavy rain when municipal sewer mains are at capacity, and that plumbing permits are required for this work.
fema.govEPA says the average household septic system should be inspected at least every three years by a septic service professional, and household septic tanks are typically pumped every three to five years.
