Why Sewage Backups Hit Montezuma Hard
The pattern in Montezuma is consistent. spring snowmelt infiltrating aging sewer lines through cracks and root intrusion drives most of the emergency restoration calls we get.
Montezuma's high elevation and heavy spring snowmelt create significant pressure on the aging sewer systems. The region's clay soil can expand and contract, causing cracks in underground pipes, which increases the risk of sewage backups during the thawing period.
