Avoid Basement Backups and Improve Water Quality at No Cost!

Program Overview:

MSD offers two voluntary programs under their Plumbing Modification Program, to reduce basement backups and remove improper connections to the sewer system. This program has helped thousands of property owners prevent basement flooding, decrease sewer system overflows to our streams and river and improve water quality within Jefferson County. 

MSD offers this voluntary program, usually at NO CHARGE TO YOU. 

MSD invites property owners to participate in these voluntary programs to protect your home and the community’s streams from overflows of untreated sewage.

• Basement Backflow Prevention Program - Offers help to MSD customers who have experienced a sewer related backup in their basement or live in an area with a history of wet weather basement backups.
• Sump Pump / Downspout Disconnection Program - Offers help to MSD customers to remove improper connections from the sewer system.

If you decide to participate in the Plumbing Modifications Program, you must obtain at least two bids from plumbers on their Approved Plumbers List. Dauenhauer Plumbing is proud to be included in the list of approved plumbers for the Plumbing Modifications Program.
