Why Montello needs this specifically
Montello’s mixed residential/commercial buildings can have odor sources that are harder to trace when multiple plumbing systems run through the same structure or adjacent lots.
Montello’s mixed-use blocks mean a sewer backup can cross-affect both a home and an adjacent business property, and the range of building types calls for assessing each property’s specific plumbing setup rather than assuming one standard layout.
What to know before you call
Persistent odor after cleanup usually means contamination remains in porous materials — see the sewage odor removal hub for the full source-identification process. See the full sewage odor removal breakdown →
