Natural gas lines can sometimes intersect with sewer lines beyond the outside wall of your home or building, which is known as a cross bore. In these cases, clearing a blocked sewer line with motorized or water jetting equipment could damage the natural gas line and lead to a gas leak, creating an immediate safety risk for you and others.

When left undisturbed, cross bores do not pose a safety hazard to anyone.

Before clearing a blocked sewer line, call Ontario One Call at 1-800-400-2255 to schedule a free sewer safety inspection. For more information, please contact info@utilitieskingston.com
