Sewer Cave-In
Quick Links
What are Sewer Cave-Ins?
Sometimes, neighbors report “sinkholes” to our office when they notice a very deep hole developing in the street. Rather than sinkholes, these are oftentimes sewer cave-ins – especially if you notice the hole forming near a sewer grate.
How are Sewer Cave-Ins Addressed?
This issue is inspected and repaired by the Department of Water Management. Once a request has been placed, an investigator should inspect within 20 days in the summer season or less than 7 days in the winter. If a cave-in is confirmed, the repair is typically completed within 60 to 90 days.
