Sanitary sewer lines is a system of underground pipes that carries sewage from bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, and other plumbing components to a wastewater treatment plant where it is filtered, treated and discharged. Storm sewer lines is a system designed to carry rainfall runoff and other drainage. Locating sanitary and storm sewer lines is very important as breaking these underground lines will cost you time and thousands of dollars to fix. The best way to eliminate this risk is to request a utility line locate before you commence your work. This will give you the clearance you need to have before starting any digging in the intended area of construction. And as the old saying goes, CALL BEFORE YOU DIG!
