EMERGENCY SEWER LINE REPAIR: MACGREGOR- HAMPTON ST MAY 22, 2026
MacGregor: Hampton St E (154- 266 see map on website notice)
Restrict water use to essential needs only.
Occasionally, during sewer repairs, air pressure in the sewer can cause water to splash out through toilets, sinks and drains. Potential sewer backup with this repair.
Please take the following precautions to prevent water damage in your home:
Close the lids on all toilet bowls when not in use
Insert drain plugs in all sinks and bathtubs when not in use
Remove all floor mats in bathrooms
Place old towels around the base of toilets
If you have a float plug in your floor drain or a backwater valve installed in your house, ensure that it is free of debris and operating properly
Wrap the cover of your basement floor drains with thick plastic (e.g., a freezerbag) and put something heavy over the floor drains to keep the covers in place
Sometimes sewer repairs can leave an odour in the home. If so, run some water down all drains (e.g., sink, shower, and bathtub), flush the toilets, pour a pail of water into each basement floor drain, and open the windows. After a short time, the odour should disappear.
