The sewer pipes in Fort Frances are getting a look over beginning today.
Roto-Rooter has been hired to clean and making recordings of the pipe over the next three years to help identify defects.
As the air pressure may push water up, residents are being asked to keep the seats on toilets down, insert plugs in drains not in use and cover all basement floor drains as a precaution.
If there's an odour, it's suggested to pour water down drains and open windows to alleviate the smell
