Drain backing up during a winter storm?

The Newberg Graphic reported that Dundee's wastewater plant was overcome by torrential rain, with an overflow that began about 6:15 a.m. on January 23, 2024, and totaled more than 4.46 million gallons. Storms like that are when rain and groundwater pour into pipes.

Stop using water while it's pouring. Keep sump pumps and downspouts out of the sewer, and after the storm, have the lowest drain's line checked for cracks.

Owner of the house, owner of the lateral

In Dundee the median home was built in 1993 (Census estimates), about 89% are detached and about 92% of households own. That means most laterals are private. A clog between your house and the main is yours to clear.

A plumber can cable it from the cleanout. If it's only in storms, ask for a camera look to find where water gets in.

Running toilet on top of the base charge?

The City of Dundee lists a residential sewer base charge of $80.75 a month, which includes 550 cubic feet of use, plus a volume charge above that. A running toilet after a partial clog adds to both water and sewer.

Check the flapper after plunging, and clear a slow flush before it backs up.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Dundee

Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.

  • Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
  • Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
  • If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
  • Keep children and pets away from dirty water.

FAQ

Dundee Clog Questions

Ask the plumber anything else when you call.

Ask a plumber
Did Dundee's sewer plant overflow?

The Newberg Graphic reported an overflow of more than 4.46 million gallons starting January 23, 2024, during torrential rain.

Can I connect my sump pump to the sewer?

No. Storm water belongs in the storm system, and extra water in the sewer is what overwhelms plants in big storms.

What is Dundee's sewer base charge?

$80.75 per dwelling unit a month, including 550 cubic feet of use.

Is a storm backup the city's fault or mine?

If the main is overloaded, it's the public side. But a cracked lateral or tied-in sump pump on your side can make it worse.
