For Akron property owners
Start with where the basement water entered
Akron's sewer guide distinguishes a blocked public main from a problem in the home's lateral, the pipe connecting the house to the main. If water came up through a floor drain, report the event to the city's utility dispatcher and explain what you observed.
For the mold inspection, keep photographs and a timeline of the backup, plumbing work and drying. That history helps us decide which walls, flooring and stored materials deserve a closer look, even when the floor now appears dry.
Report the backup
Use Akron's sewer contact in the guide below; a mold visit does not replace investigation of the drain.
Keep lateral records
Save the plumber's findings, cleaning receipts and any camera inspection results.
Look beyond the puddle
Tell us if water reached finished walls, closets or under-floor spaces.
