Description

I live at the corner of Fitzhugh and Sauer and had problems with an open drain issue when our weather is bad. I see the manhole cover at my corner is overflowing, as well. I have a concern that this will flow up into my basement area again, as it did yesterday morning. This is the first time over the years I have experienced overflow into the private basement area.

I would like to note that I am already working on fixing this basement due to damage from a frozen pipe. I have had the floors ripped up, dealt with the insurance company and am lining up workmen to fix this in a clean livable space..

I would find it really annoying to fix all this, all to find this manhole overflow damage this hard work I need to do. I would like this manhole area checked to make sure it can properly flow without affecting neighborhood basements, such as mine. I can send you pictures of the inside drain in my basement. I have more that one, so you can see the damage I am working on repairing.

Thank you for your time.
