Decision support

Sewer Backup Help for The Colony Homeowners

Sewer backups in The Colony's lake-adjacent properties are often connected to elevation and grading relative to Lake Lewisville, particularly after heavy rain or high lake levels, while older lakeside homes should also consider aging line condition as a separate factor.

• Mention how close your property is to the lakefront and note recent rain or lake level changes
• Homes in older lakeside areas should also consider aging line condition
• A backup that returns quickly after clearing suggests a deeper issue needing a different approach
• Ask whether the provider checks exterior grading and drainage flow as part of the assessment

Sewage Backup Safety
