Areas Covered
Think of this as a map of where requests come from; no one from this site does work in any of these places. Dayton, a city of about 136,700 where the Great Miami, Stillwater and Mad rivers meet, sits at the center. Its storm and sanitary sewers are separate systems; backups go to the Sewer Maintenance Bureau, 937-333-4905, and the City treats the lateral, house to main, as the owner's pipe. Permits come from Building Services, 937-333-3883, 371 W. Second St., and Engineering, 937-333-7217, can confirm whether an address lies inside Dayton.
Each of the five cities below is a separate city with its own permit route and sewer owner. Ohio's lack of any waterproofing license, ORC 4722's written-contract rule for jobs over $25,000 and the Ohio Attorney General's Consumer Protection Section apply in every one of them.
