Sewer Backup? 5 Things You Need to Know
The Cincinnati area may be hit by heavy rains this weekend (2-4 inches or more) that could result in sewer overflows into local creeks and rivers and sewer backups into buildings.
If you experience a potential sewer backup in your home or business, here are five things you need to know:
- You can report a potential sewer backup 24/7 to MSD at (513) 352-4900 or msdgc.org/sbu
- MSD investigates every report of a potential sewer backup to determine whether it's eligible for assistance through our Sewer Backup (SBU) Program.
- MSD provides professional cleaning services at no charge to eligible property owners and tenants.
- MSD offers reimbursement for qualifying damages from sewer backups caused by the MSD public sewer.
- When a sewer backup or water intrusion is not caused by the MSD public sewer, the property owner is often responsible for the cleanup and/or repairs.
NOTE: Heavy rains can also lead to runoff and flooding in spots. Please visit the City of Cincinnati's Stormwater Management Utility (SMU) webpage for information on how to reduce street and property flooding.
