NYC Sewer Emergency, Manhattan Sewer Replacement By Balkan 24/7

Dec 13, 2011

Manhattan sewer replacement work can pose special challenges to a sewer contractor. Recently a NYC sewer line suddenly stopped working and an emergency sewer replacement was needed. The property in question was located at 475 Tenth Avenue in Manhattan. This large office tower also houses an active art museum called Exit Art. Coincidentally, the same day of the sewer collapse coincided with the commencement of a ‘red carpet’ fund raiser at the Exit Art museum. Unlike many Manhattan sewer jobs this one demanded immediate attention and working around the clock until the sewer replacement was complete.Manhattan sewer repair work may require working around the clock
