It's the middle of summer and there is a heavy rain. Once over, you make your way down to the basement only to find it flooded, as your drains have backed up. What next? Or, it's the dead of winter but your street hasn't been plowed of snow, and you can't get your car out of the driveway to make that important medical appointment. What to do now? Whom to contact? As a homeowner there are many problems that can arise that demand immediate attention. It could be something minor, such as you needing a replacement bin for recyclables, or something major, such as the smell of gas throughout your home. (one should always have a carbon monoxide detector on each level of your home)
Below is a list of numbers for offices that provide immediate service for a wide array of situations.
In the residential area, you'll find contact information on:
1 recycling/what to put in/what to leave out
2. parking/legal or otherwise
3. foul water or a nasty smell from your pipes/sewer gas
4. special pickups of dangerous materials
5. your basement drain backing up causing flooding and damage
