About SewerOwner

Who this is for

Homeowners facing a sewer decision they did not plan for and cannot easily verify: a backup, a recurring blockage, an inspection result, a proposal for work costing more than most household repairs, or a letter from an authority.

It is not written for contractors, and it is not written to generate traffic on sewer terminology.

How SewerOwner intends to make money

The intended model is contractor introductions: a homeowner who has organised their situation asks to be put in touch, and a contractor pays for an introduction that arrives with real context attached rather than a name and a phone number.

That model only works if the introduction is genuinely better than a form fill, which means the homeowner has to get value first. It is also why this site does not rank contractors — a ranking would be an advertisement, and it would make every other page on the site less trustworthy.

No contractor network exists yet. Nothing on this site is currently monetised, and no submission reaches anyone.

What that means for what you read here

A platform paid for introductions has an obvious incentive to make every situation sound urgent and every line sound broken. The guardrails against that are structural rather than editorial: there is no scoring anywhere in the codebase, observations are stored separately from findings, and the build fails if a page states a cause, a responsibility boundary, or a local rule that no verified source supports.
