Sewage is backing up into my house, who should I call or what should I do?
We recommend you first contact our 24-hour line at 281-275-2450. We will assess the backup to determine if the blockage is in the public sewer line or the property owner’s private sewer lateral. The city will clear blockages that occur in the public sewer line and if it is on your private lines, you would be responsible for calling out a plumber.
