Sewer lines can develop air pressure or a partial vacuum from the cleaning process. Usually, any excess air pressure or vacuum will dissipate through your plumbing vents, but occasionally there are some homes with inadequate plumbing vents (no vents, undersized vents, or obstructed vents). In the case of inadequate venting, air pressure could escape through your toilet, floor, sink, tub, or shower drains causing water to splash out or, a vacuum could draw the water out of your fixture traps causing an unpleasant odor.

To guard against this possibility please:

· cover all floor drains with plastic wrap and place a weight on top of the plastic

· cover all toilets with plastic wrap and close the lid on the plastic

· if you should experience an unpleasant odor, run water into each drain to refill the traps

Water and drains may be used as normal.

Please note that the annual cleaning of the sanitary sewers is necessary to help prevent stoppages and blockages.

Thank you for your cooperation and our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
